1. Executive Summary
National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) had mandated KPMG Advisory Services Pvt Ltd to undertake a
District-level Skill Gap Study of the state of Gujarat, involving various Departments of the Government of Gujarat, and
Industry Bodies, as key stakeholders. The study focused on identifying district-wise incremental skilling requirements
in Gujarat during the period 2012-22, for the potential growth sectors in the state. A roadmap for skill development
initiatives in the state is proposed, with recommendations for key stakeholders. Extensive district level primary
interactions including discussions with industries, vocational training providers and Government officers, were
conducted. Focused group discussions were organized to understand youth aspirations towards employment. Global
and Indian best practices in skill training have also been studied.
The demographic and social profile of Gujarat presents a unique human resource opportunity for economic growth
through manpower skilling. As per KPMG estimates, Gujarat has a significant demographic dividend in the near term,
with a rising working age population. Between 2012 and 2017, an additional 60.51 lakh 1 are expected to enter the
working age group population followed by another 56.67 lakh during 2017-22 2 (these are Gross numbers, without
netting off retirees). Considering the historical trends in labour participation rates of Gujarat, the state would witness
a gross addition of 35.15 lakh and 32.90 lakh people to labour force (i.e. portion of the working age population willing
to seek employment and work) during 2012-17 and 2017-22 periods respectively. Accommodating for retirement from
the existing pool of labour force, Gujarat is expected to register a net addition of 20.41 lakh to the labour force during
2012-17, and another 15.83 lakhs during 2017-22.

Manpower supply has regional variations along social and gender dimensions in Gujarat. District-wise incremental
supply estimates indicate significant regional concentration in the leading six districts of Ahmedabad, Surat,
Vadodara, Rajkot, Banas Kantha, Bhavnagar and Junagadh, accounting for nearly half of the total supply. Tribal
regions like The Dangs, Narmada, Dohad, Navsar and Valsad have to be given special focus, considering the seasonal
work-related migration, stemming from socio-economic backwardness and lack of sustainable local
livelihood/employment opportunities in these areas. Role of women in capacity building – especially in improving
labour participation rates - cannot be undermined, with a high proportion of rural female engaged in agri-allied
activities in the rural districts of Dahod (91.01 percent rural population), Tapi (90.21 per cent rural population) and
Narmada (89.56 percent rural population). Considerations of industry towards employing female workforce in
manufacturing enterprises, specifically in medium-small scale category, should be addressed through suitable

awareness creation and policy initiatives that can help improve labour participation rates of women and help Gujarat
bridge its human resource demand-supply gap in future. Further, there is a need to emphasize special focus on
skilling and empowering of women in districts like Surat with a low proportion of female population.
Keeping in view the current position of the state, along with possible economic growth that could be facilitated in
various sectors through favorable policies, an estimate of the additional increase in incremental manpower
requirement during XII plan (2012-17) and XIII plan (2017-22) periods, would be over 3 million and 2.63 million
respectively. In XII plan period, the targets of job opportunities to be created per annum, could be set at around six
lakhs on an annualized basis.
Incremental human resource requirements in the state have significant geographical and sectoral variations. Priority
sectors from a manpower development perspective include Textiles and Apparel, Chemical and Chemical Products,
Auto and Auto Components, Engineering Goods, Port based industries, Banking and Financial Services, Transportation
and Logistics, Retail and IT/ITES. Priority districts from a manpower development perspective include Ahmedabad,
Vadodara, Surat, Kutch, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Gandhinagar and Bharuch.

An overview of the current enrollment status across levels of education, helps provide an estimate of emerging
capacity gaps over the next decade or so. With current primary enrollments (5 years) in Gujarat standing at 58 lakhs,
there is a need to increase higher education capacity, to accommodate this population as they graduate from school,
in line with the GER targets (set at 30% by the end of 12th plan period 2012-17, pan-India). Even on conservative
estimates, Gujarat will need to nearly double higher education capacity by 2017, to achieve this.
Our estimates also indicate that the human resource demand-supply gap will be quite high in the semi-skilled
category, and a portion of those with higher education degrees, would also get absorbed in this category of jobs.
Hence vocational education needs to be provided to them as well.

Vocational education has a key role to play in the educational system of Gujarat, which has a relatively low capacity
in higher education. While significant drop out rates are witnessed after school education across the state, resulting
in low enrollments in higher education, districts of The Dangs, Narmada and Tapi have considerably high dropouts
even at the school level. Interventions in vocational education to bridge the gaps in the educational system (within
the schooling stage itself) and provide seamless options for students to pursue vocational education, would be crucial
in developing a holistic approach to address the skilling needs of the state. A comparison of vocational education
capacities in the state would show that density of vocational infrastructure measured as number of seats available
for 1000 people is high in the districts of Navsari, Bharuch, Sabar Kantha, Gandhinagar and low in Porbandar, Surat
and Bhavnagar. Level of private participation is low in The Dangs, Navsari, Porbandar and Jamnagar districts.
Capacity expansion in vocational education and augmentation of private participation is needed through region
specific initiatives considering the current level of variations among the districts.
Assessment of existing training infrastructure in comparison to human resource demand over XII Plan period,
indicates significant capacity expansion requirement for semi-skilled category through vocational education. DemandSupply gap estimates indicates a need to improve participation rates in semi-skilled categories along with providing
vocational skills to high skilled labour force as well, considering the high level of employment opportunities in semi
skilled category within the state. Further, employability of highly skilled graduates is an issue owing to misalignment
of courses with industry needs and poor quality of institutes. Issue of low employability of graduates has to be
addressed through suitable up-skilling considering local industrial requirements in order to ensure availability of
industry ready manpower.

The state has significant scheme training opportunities through Government schemes. During the five year period
2012-17 major schemes have a potential to train nearly 19 lakh people with SJSRY, SDI-MES and Agricultural
training program accounting for a major share of this. Details of scheme/department wise training targets are
presented in the table.

Youth aspiration study indicates a clear mismatch between student aspiration and job opportunities available in the
state. Sectors such as retail, construction, agri-allied activities, textile and transportation and logistics need to work
on building a positive image, and providing the right working environment/perks, to attract talent.
Increasing entrepreneurial activity in the state of Gujarat has to be matched with appropriately skilled managerial
and technical workforce. Interactions with industry in the state, have revealed that challenges are often related to
quality of the workforce, rather than quantity. Most of the industry personnel opined that quality issues in the state
13
are two-fold - technical knowledge and soft skills/behavioral aspects - with prospective employees lacking in either,
or both of them. Manufacturing industries are facing serious issues to employ appropriate manpower, as most skilled
graduates prefer to work in services sector than in manufacturing.
Recommendations for stakeholders (Government, NSDC/SSC, Industry and Training Institutes) are aimed at
developing a comprehensive approach for the skill development activities in Gujarat.
Key recommendations for the Government include:
•
•
•
•
Building systematic mechanisms to identify and assist potential school dropouts transition into vocational
programs
Developing the Gujarat Skill Development Mission in line with its charter, as a focal agency for skilling
Focus on Enhancing Skill Training Capacities in Districts With Low Penetration of Vocational Education
Setting up Anchor Institutes in more focus industries and broadening their scope
Key recommendations for the Industry/Industry Bodies include:
•
•

5. Approach and Methodology
KPMG has adopted a structured methodology to study the skill ecosystem in Gujarat, assess incremental manpower
needs, and collate insights, to arrive at recommendations to address the manpower skill gaps in the districts of the
state – which in turn provides a picture of the manpower skill gaps in the entire state.
The approach involved understanding skill gaps for formal/informal employment in both private and public enterprises
among key manufacturing and services sectors in Gujarat.
Salient features of the study
Socio-economic Profile: Detailed analysis of demographic and socio economic factors such as population,
population growth trends, population density, urbanization, overall literacy, female literacy, healthcare indices, school
education, higher/vocational education, dropout rates, domestic product, per capita income, labour force
participation, worker participation rate, migration, primary, secondary & tertiary sector profiles at a state and district
level.
Sectoral Focus: The study focused on analyzing manpower skilling requirements from the perspective of high
growth sectors of the state, along with localized sectors that have a good growth potential at the level of the district.
Since over two-thirds of the population of Gujarat is involved in agriculture and agri-allied activities, the study also
focused on manpower skilling requirements in these areas. Government policies of related sectors were studied to
understand thrust and growth targets for different sectors in the state, which would translate to priority sectors from
the perspective of investment in manpower skilling as well.
Voice of Stakeholders: Detailed interactions were undertaken with various stakeholders, such as youth, private
skill training providers, Government departments with skill training mandate and industry players - to understand
their perspectives on manpower training and placement.
Manpower Demand-Supply Gap: Manpower Demand-Supply gap would be the difference between projected
workforce participation and industrial manpower requirements, estimated for 2017 and further for 2022.
Estimation of Manpower Supply: Based on estimations of population growth rate, working age group population
and labour force participation, manpower supply in 2017 and 2022 has been estimated at district and state level.
Assessment of Existing Skill Training Capacity: Existing skill training capacity has been calculated based on
sanctioned intake and enrolment in formal skill training institutions – government and private institutions offering
Higher Education, Vocational Education (ITI/ ITC) and Diploma programs, at both the state and district levels along
with Government sponsored training schemes. A dipstick study was undertaken at the district level, to understand the
institutional readiness of skill training institutions.
Computation of Incremental Employment Potential: District level and state level data on categories of
investment and employment were analyzed to arrive at the composition of economic activity, and their respective
growth rate in each district. The proposed sectoral growth rate for the state of Gujarat and its districts, have been
estimated based on a triangulation of several factors such as past growth trend, state government’s policy impetus to
20
sectors, inputs from industry personnel, presence of industrial infrastructure, besides a state-comparable analysis.
Labour elasticity estimates have been used to determine sector wise employment growth projections at the district
and state level. Based on industry inputs and published literature, incremental employment potential has been
classified as highly skilled, skilled, semi skilled and minimally skilled. Further, critical skills required for the focus
sectors have been highlighted, keeping in view the adoption of technology in industries.
Detailed approach for the human resource requirement estimation is given below.

Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with groups of 20-25 students in each district to understand their
aspirations in terms of social life, career, expected economic standards of living and work related mobility - and the
outcome was correlated to the level of industrialization of the district. The group discussions were carried out in a
systematic manner with both skill training beneficiaries and skill training providers. The discussions were designed to
be participatory in nature, and evoke inputs from all stakeholders, with due representation from various sections of
trades and courses besides gender, both at trainer and trainee level.
Secondary Research: Secondary Data were collected from a number of sources including central, state and district
government/administration agencies, especially the Department of Industries and Department of Planning and
Statistics and program specific information from departments with a mandate in skill training, and from studies
commissioned by funding agencies, NGOs etc.

6. Skill Gap Assessment of Gujarat
6.1. Socioeconomic Profile
6.1.1. Administrative Profile
Gujarat is situated in the western part of India shares borders with Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Arabian Sea
and Pakistan. The state has a geographical area of 2,03,800 sq.km 4 with Gandhinagar as the capital city. While
Gujarati is the official language in the state many local languages in tribal regions are prominent. Administratively,
Gujarat is distributed into 26 districts 5 with Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Vadodara, Surat and Kutch being the
key districts. Geographical spread of the districts varies significantly within the state ranging from Kutch-45,652
sq.km 6 (largest district in India) to The Dangs- 1,764 sq.km 7.
Figure 1: Administrative Map of Gujarat 8
6.1.2. Demographic Profile
Gujarat is a moderately populated state in India. As per Census 2011 estimates, state has a population of 6.04 Crore 9
accounting for 5.00 percent of India population 10. Decadal growth of population has normalized to 17.64 percent 11

during 2001-11, from 21.53 percent 12 during 1991-2001, in line with the drop of decadal growth rate across Indian
states. Successful implementation of population control schemes is a partial reason for the reduced decadal growth
rate - along with literacy and changing socioeconomic scenarios. Study of population distribution along socio,
regional, gender, education attainment and concentration dimensions, would be crucial to understand the
demographics in the state. Summary of key demographic indicators in Gujarat, and comparison with national level
indicators, is presented in the table.

Key Demographic Characteristics in Gujarat:
Regional Distribution: Over six crore population in the state, is unevenly distributed across the districts.
Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Banas Kantha, Bhavnagar and Junagadh districts account for almost half of the
total state population. Industrial growth-led migration, large geographical spread and historical factors, are the prime

reasons for high human resource composition in these districts. On the other hand, The Dangs, Porbandar, Narmada
and Tapi have significantly low population of less than 10 lakhs 14 in each district, owing to low geographical spread.

Population Intensity: Over six crores population of Gujarat is distributed in the state at an average of 308 persons
per sq.km 16. Population density of the state is significantly lower than the national average of 382 persons per
sq.km 17. Lower human resource intensity in the state, coupled with increasing employment opportunities across
organized and unorganized sectors, has played a crucial role in promoting inward migration of skilled workers
predominantly from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Further, concentration of population has intra state variations with the districts of Surat and Ahmedabad having
highest density on one hand, and Kutch and The Dangs having the lowest density on the other hand. While the state
has a population density less than the national average, the eleven most-densely populated districts in the state,
have higher densities than the national average. Classification of districts based on distribution of population as per
average population density as high intensity, medium intensity and low intensity regions, would indicate the human
resource intensity in these regions. High population intensity districts have evolved with gradual migration of
14
16
17
15
29
workforce into these clusters from industrially less-developed regions within the state, as well as from outside the
state.
Figure 3: Regional variations in population density among the districts of Gujarat 18
Level of Urbanization: Human resource intensity in a region is closely related to level of urbanization. Growth of
industrial and commercial activity in urban regions has led to a high population increase in urban population over the
last few decades in Gujarat. Level of urbanization in Gujarat has reached 42.58 percent 19 in 2011, in comparison to
national average of 31.2 percent 20. Rapid growth of urban population in Gujarat during 2001-11 driven by rural-urban
migration, is the key reason for high urbanization within the state. Urban population in the state has witnessed 35.83
percent growth during 2001-11 in comparison to 9.23 percent growth in rural population during the same period.
Valsad district has recorded the highest decadal growth rate in urban areas at 66.35 per cent 21 and Surat district has
shown the lowest decadal growth rate in rural areas at (-)8.43 per cent 22, both indicating the rapid urbanization
trends in the state. While there is a clear trend of urbanization in certain regions, districts like Dohad (91.01 percent
rural population), Tapi (90.21 per cent 23 rural population) and Narmada (89.56 percent rural population) are still
18
20
21
22

30
predominantly rural. Urban regions are usually associated with high employment intensity in commercial and services
sectors and higher proportion of affluent population.
Figure 4: Regional variations in level of urbanization among the districts of Gujarat 24
Proportion of backward communities: As the reserved categories’ population statistics based on 2011 Census
are not available, 2001 statistics are analyzed to understand the historical characteristics in the population of
marginalized communities in Gujarat. As per 2001 estimates, 21.85 percent 25 of total population comprised of
backward classes. While Scheduled Tribes account for 14.76 percent 26, Scheduled Castes account for 7.09 percent 27
of the total population. Considering the high proportion of STs in the state population, adequate focus should be
given for the upliftment of these communities targeting regions with high concentration of tribals. Bhil is the major
scheduled tribe in Gujarat accounting for 46 percent 28 of the total ST population. In terms of regional concentration,
The Dangs, Narmada, Dohad, Navsar and Valsad have a high proportion of STs in the overall district population. On
expected lines, major share of ST population (91.8 percent) 29 in Gujarat lives in rural areas. Analysis of regional
distribution of SC/ST population would help understand the occupational patterns and social relevance of these
activities. Policy interventions for the welfare of these marginalized communities through skilling and empowerment
have to address these concerns at large.

Figure 5: Regional variations in composition of scheduled categories population among the districts of
Gujarat 30
Gender Composition: Gender is another important demographic parameter which has relevance to education,
occupational characteristics of the population considering the social compulsions in communities. Trends in the
gender composition in Gujarat do not present a promising picture. Proportion of females in overall population has
decreased from 920 females per 1000 males 31 in 2001 to 918 females per 1000 males in 2011. While the gender ratio
in the state is skewed to a greater degree than the national average (940 females per 1000 males), declining
proportion of female population is another major concern for the state. Social and economic conditions are among the
reasons for gender bias. Further, district of Surat, which has been witnessing high degree of migrant worker influx,
has an alarmingly low at 757 females per 1000 males. Characteristics of migration and occupational patterns are key
reasons for the low proportion of female population in Surat. On the other hand, districts of The Dangs and Tapi have
more female population than males. Considering these gender variations in population is important for any inclusive
framework of manpower development. While districts with skewed gender composition need attention towards
creating equity, districts with high female proportion would require women-centric initiatives for education and
employment generation.

Figure 6: Regional variations in gender composition of population among the districts of Gujarat 32
Education Attainment: Literacy rate is a good measure for the attainment of basic education in a region. As per
2011 Census, Gujarat has registered a literacy rate of 79.31 percent 33 in comparison to national average of 74.02
percent 34. During 2001-11, the literacy rate has improved from 69.11 percent 35 to the current levels - increasing the
number of literates to 4,19,48,677 36. Growth in overall literacy of the state is attributed to successful implementation
of mass education schemes at school level along with settlement of educated migrants in Gujarat in various
organized/ unorganized sectors across the state. Education attainment has to be analyzed through gender, regional
and social dimensions to identify the focus areas for improvement.
Literacy rate in Gujarat has significant regional variations with the districts of Ahmadabad, Surat, Anand and
Gandhinagar, on one side, having high literacy rate of over 85% - and Dohad, Banas Kantha and Tapi having lower
rates. District of Dohad has the lowest literacy rate of 61%. Literacy rate variations in districts are attributed to level
of urbanization with continuing disparities in urban-rural literacy rates over the years. As per 2011 literacy estimates,
the state has a urban-rural literacy gap of 16.75% indicating an immediate need to address the issues and look at
inclusivity.

Figure 7: Regional variations in literacy rates among the districts of Gujarat 37
Further, gender linked analysis of literacy rates presents the case of gender based disparities in the education
attainment. Female literacy rate of Gujarat standing at 70.73 percent 38 is better than the national average female
literacy rate of 65.46 percent 39. However, there is a substantial gender literacy disparity within Gujarat with a malefemale literacy rate gap of 16.5 percent 40 which is comparable to the urban-rural disparity (urban-rural literacy gap16.75%).There is a wide gap of 20.69 per cent in literacy rates of rural males and rural females due to socio economic
reasons. Disparities in education attainment arising from region, gender and social dimensions have to be considered
to develop a holistic growth map for the state in creating a knowledge economy.
Healthcare: Gujarat has performed significantly well across key healthcare parameters- Crude Birth Rate (CBR),
Crude Death Rate (CDR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in comparison to the national averages. Focus on primary
health care has helped the state in overcoming some critical challenges in producing healthy workforce. Details of
healthcare infrastructure would be covered in healthcare sector which is a priority sector for human resource growth
in the state. A comparative view of Gujarat with India in select health indicators is presented in the table 41.

Migration: Migration in Gujarat in both forms is a common phenomenon. Post globalization Gujaratis started
migrating to other counties like US, UK and middle eastern economies for jobs. Migration in Gujarat can be classified
into major categories including; seasonal migration, outward migration from less fertile hilly regions like The Dangs,
migration to coastal regions into fisheries and salt fields, migration into industrial clusters of Surat, Ahmedabad,
Kutch and Bhavnagar. Decadal population growth trends indicate a pattern in migration with Gujarat though often
interstate migration and seasonal migration are not visible in Census Statistics with the labour not accounted for
permanent population living in a region. Classification of districts by the decadal population growth indicates that
districts of Surat and Kutch have witnessed high level of permanent migration while Navsari, Amreli and Tapi have
seen significant outward displacement of population.
Figure 8: Regional variations in decadal population growth rates among the districts of Gujarat 42
Gujarat has emerged as an industrial agglomerate. Over the years, it has been a preferred destination for in-ward
migration. Along with Delhi, Haryana and Maharashtra, Gujarat has recorded positive net migration resulting in a
growth of population. While agrarian based rural to rural migration is significant in the state, Industrial driven rural to
urban and urban to urban migration has gained prominence over the years. Migrant workers from neighboring states
like Rajasthan, especially tribal women, come to work in cotton fields, tobacco units and other major industries.
42
35
Inward migration from other states has socio-regional characteristics, with Orissa being a major source for migrant
workers in Handloom industries in Surat and Port based industries in the Kutch region. A high proportion of migrant
workers come from a select few districts of Orissa mostly through referrals by relatives/ family members. This type of
migration does not involve relocating families owing to the culture of joint families allowing husbands to go on workrelated migration leaving their families back home. However, families from Kerala come to work in salt fields in
Kutch, Bhavnagar region. Increased mechanization and usage of earth moving equipment has curtailed such migratory
patterns. Factory work in Gujarat is preferred by upper caste migrants who often refrain from choosing manual labor
work.
Non availability of skilled professionals for ship building and ship breaking industries force industrial units to acquire
skilled professionals from southern states like Tamil Nadu. While an even higher proportion of workers come as
groups from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat as contract workers for working in the industry. Adequate skilling of
local youth in related segments could provide local employment opportunities and reduce job based outward
migration from these niche industrial clusters like Bhavnagar.
Rural areas in Gujarat have witnessed significant instances of intra state seasonal to permanent migration due to low
employment opportunities for skilled professionals. However in recent years there has been an increase in the level
of average employment and reduction in migration from rural areas. Growth in number of commercial units in rural
areas like cyber cafes, fax and photocopying shops along with employment in MNREGA activities during offseason
periods have had widespread socioeconomic benefits in these regions resulting in curtailing of migration. Growing
efforts towards developing rural industries have helped workers and skilled personnel from industrial belts to reverse
migration trends in order to setup their own manufacturing/servicing units in villages. Reverse migration led by the
promotion of industrial activities is observed in diamond polishing, textile, dairy farming, flour and rice mills,
fisheries, rubber/plastic processing and lathe based units.

6.1.3. State Economic Profile
Gujarat continues to occupy a distinctive position in the Indian economy. A state with nearly 5 percent of the
country’s population and 6 percent of the country’s geographical area, Gujarat contributes to 7.39 percent 43 of Gross
Domestic Product of India. As per quick estimate, Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at factor cost at current
prices in 2011-11 has been estimated at INR 6,11,767 crore 44 as against INR 2,83, 693 crore 45 in 2005-06,
registering a cumulative growth of 16.61 percent 46 during the five year period. However, GSDP estimation at constant
prices of base year which is a measure of real growth in the state output has grown at 9.5 percent during the same
period. A comparison of Gujarat with India on select economic parameters is shown in the table.

Macroeconomic statistics look more impressive on a closer look at the subsector composition of the State Domestic
Product. The share of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors has been reported at 21.8 percent, 36.1 percent and
42.1 percent respectively to the total GSDP in 2011-12 at current prices. Contribution of secondary sector comprising
manufacturing, electricity, energy and construction is significant among the Indian states indicating the crucial role
that the sector has played to the growth of the state. As per 2011-12 estimates, contribution of secondary sector to
the state GDP stood at 36.1 percent as against national average of 23.69 percent. Share of manufacturing in the
overall economy remained constant over the years indicating the uniform growth across three major economic
activities.

Sectoral Analysis-GSDP: Accounting for 27 percent 49 of the total state GDP, manufacturing is a leading contributor
to the state economy among the seven key economic sub sectors in Gujarat. Along with manufacturing, agriculture
and allied activities account for a significant portion of the state output. However, assessment of economic output of

Non availability of District Level GDP Estimations:
While district-level income estimates are a crucial input for policy making, few states publish these estimates at this
level. And even if some states have taken the initiative to publishing these estimates, there have been time lags
involved.
For several states and UT’s of India district level GDP estimates have been made available across primary, secondary
and tertiary sector. District-level GDP estimations are arrived by broadly following the methodology published by CSO
with appropriate changes, wherever required due to inconsistency in data availability across time, districts and states
using data sources used for the analysis are NAS, CSO, RBI, Census (2001), National Sample Survey Organization,
NDSSPI, etc. Income estimates across districts can be helpful in recognizing industries/sectors that are driving or
retarding economic growth at the district level. Also, these estimates can be very much useful in facilitating better
resource management for policy implementation at micro and macro levels and to remove the constraints imposed by
lack of reliable data on latest situation at the district level.
From the perspective of the corporate sector, this can help in understanding the vast Indian market and its wide
variations within districts. Last but not the least, this can provide valuable background information to credit
facilitating companies and investors to prioritize locations for further investment. However, for Gujarat official GDDP
(Gross District Domestic Product) estimates are not available. Hence, our study focuses on using other forms of
economic data including investments, banking, public expenditure at district level to understand the economic state
of various districts and assess inter district comparisons.

Accounting for 17.3 percent (As per 2009-10 CSO estimates) of the industrial production of India, Gujarat has
demonstrated leadership in many areas of manufacturing and infrastructure sectors. Almost 50 percent of the
country’s refined petroleum products and 45 percent of the drugs and pharmaceuticals are from Gujarat. The State’s
exports stand at 14 percent of India’s total exports, exhibiting a strong global orientation of the industrial structure.
The above indicators are a result of the economy’s robust foundation. Focus on some key growth accelerators for the
Gujarat economy would help understand the ramifications of these accelerators and future outlook of the economy.
Over the period of time for any economy the desired push in their growth journey would depend on trade,
infrastructure, policy, demographics and technology. Even in Gujarat, at a broad level these five components have
been primarily responsible for the economic vibrancy of the State. An analysis of the four indicators, excluding
demographics, is covered in the following sections.
Trade: Historically trade, driven by traditional comparative advantage, has been a key growth accelerator for
economic expansion and national differentiation. As economies advance and diversify internally, trade helps to bring
economies of scale, better market access and well integrated supply chain for various economic agents of any nation.
Singapore and Dubai are good examples of nations which have fully leveraged their geography and made trade the
basis of growth and development. Gujarat has also taken this path after the emergence of key ports in the state
leading to growth of various allied sectors. Kandla, Mundra ports have seen phenomenal growth of trade over the
recent years. However the state has relatively low exposure to air trade due to limited airports operating with
integrated cargo facilities. Regions under Delhi- Mumbai corridor have started witnessing considerable jump in trade
over the recent past. Supportive policies are crucial to drive the trade in an economy and globalization through free
trade is a path that countries like Dubai have adopted. Steps in this direction would have a long lasting impact in
making the trade flourish in the state.
Favorable Policy Environment fostering Industrial Growth
Policy-led development entails direct and proactive public intervention to build economic capacity leading to
increased investment and/or productive growth. ASEAN countries in the second half of the last century followed a
focused export led growth with active support and encouragement from their policy environment.
Gujarat is among the few Indian states which have initiated adequate policy thrust to develop the manufacturing
sector. While the other Indian state economies are predominantly service based, a flourishing manufacturing sector
has been the building block for Gujarat’s economy. These imperatives have positioned Gujarat not just as a leading
State of India, but also put forth the focus to design its growth story similar to those of other developed countries. A
lot of policy initiatives that have been implemented and are underway would make the State a strong contender for
becoming a model state at the global level.
Various governments at the state and center have placed a greater emphasis on developing the manufacturing sector
as evident from the National manufacturing policy. Formulated in 2011, the National Manufacturing Policy aims to
increase the present share of manufacturing sector in GDP from 18% to 25% by 2025 at an all India level. In Gujarat,
considering the high and diversified industrial base, the state has set up ambitious growth targets for the next five
years. The State Government plans to increase the current share of manufacturing sector to state GDP to 32% by
2017 through specific interventions in the sub sector of technical textiles, food and agro business park, auto and
40
components, specialty and fine chemicals, solar and wind equipments manufacturing and electronic system design
and manufacturing (ESDM).
The government of Gujarat has introduced a modified scheme to provide financial assistance to Industrial Park with a
view to promote and encourage the establishment of Industrial Parks by private institutions to accelerate industrial
infrastructure in the state.
Development of Special Investment Regions (SIR): The process of making land available for economic development
through the process of land acquisition is becoming difficult day by day. The Government of Gujarat has decided
some interventions for land aggregation through the enactment of Special Investment Regional Act. The process is a
win-win situation for the farmers, the State and the stake holders in the integrated economic development. The rich
experience of Gujarat in preparation of Development Plan (DP) and Town Plans (TP) is being used in the process of
land aggregation. The process is under implementation in the Dholera SIR.
The government of Gujarat has introduced Investment Facilitation Portal (IFP). The portal is helpful in investor
facilitation and monitoring of projects. IFP portal captures most of the data of investment intention since Vibrant
Gujarat 2003 to Vibrant Gujarat 2013 event. As far as implementation of these investment intentions are concerned
the projects commissioned and under implementation stands at 57.43% of all the investment intentions of Vibrant
Gujarat 2003 to Vibrant Gujarat 2011. Making available industry responsive manpower is very critical to the growth of
industry in Gujarat.
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises: MSME, the back bone of industrial development, has always been accorded
high priority. Before the inception of the MSMED Act 2006 there were 312752 SSI units registered 51 generating
1489216 jobs in Gujarat. A total of 140587 MSME enterprises 52 were acknowledged between 1/10/2006 to
31/12/2012. Thus, the total MSME stood at 453339 53 on 31/12/2012 providing employment to 2504856 people 54. The
Vibrant Gujarat 2011 Summit saw over 54% MoUs being signed by SMEs. Vibrant Gujarat 2013 saw an over
encouraging response of 72.72% of the MoUs signed by SMEs.
The Government of Gujarat has announced a new textile policy in 2012 to enhance the growth of cotton farms, to
strengthen the whole value chain, to facilitate the state to be a leader in manufacturing of yarn, fabric and garment. .
6.1.3.1.
Investment Scenario
Traditionally, Gujarat has been able to attract some of the highest levels of investments, including Foreign Direct
Investments (FDI) in India. The Vibrant Gujarat Summit has acted as an effective catalyst in the journey of growth of
industry in Gujarat. Year on year investment growth trends in industrial and large scale service enterprises, according
to IEM data, indicates a clear shift in the investment outlook since 2006. Over the last five years, the state has
witnessed over Rupees One lakh Crore of investments 55 proposed per year as shown in the chart. This impressive

Investments
Analysis of regional distribution of investments in Gujarat indicates that the industrial development is concentrated
around few districts of Kutch, Bharuch, Surat, Vadodara, Bhavnagar, Banas Kantha, Rajkot, Jamnagar while other
regions including The Dangs, Narmada, Dahod, Navsari remain backward in terms of industrial development. Over the
recent years State Government has initiated measures to enhance the industrial growth in backward districts across
the state through suitable incentives leading to an increased investment potential of these regions over the next
decade. Details of region wise large scale investments in Gujarat till 2012 is presented in the chart.

Key Growth Sectors in Gujarat
The future economic growth of Gujarat will depend in large part, on fostering excellence in key traditional industrial
and services segments, and being a pioneer in emerging sectors. In this section, we have tried to give a deeper
understanding that reflects not just the statistical facts, but also the enablers, constraints and imperatives linked to
each sector, and cover aspects of regional concentration of sectors leading to cluster development.
Secondary Sector
1) Port and Logistics:
Gujarat is one of the fast growing states in India in the maritime sector. The state has witnessed significant growth
of non-major ports over the years. Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) manages 41 non-major ports in the state with a
traffic handling capacity of 323 MMT. During the year 2011-12, non-major ports in the State together handled about
259 million tonnes of cargo, which accounted for 28 percent of the total cargo handled by all the ports of India.
Further, capacity handling in these ports has been registering a healthy growth rate over the recent years. The cargo
handled during the year 2011-12 has increased by 12%, compared to 2010-11. Growth in cargo trade is expected to
be sustained, driven by conducive export policies and industrial activity in the state over the next decade.
Gujarat Maritime Board has embarked on various measures to stimulate the growth in port sector through Private/
Joint Sector Ports, Private Jetties, Captive Jetties and GMB Jetties along with identifying 10 regions for developing
Greenfield Ports.
60
44
Captive Jetties on BOMT (Build, Operate, Maintain and Transfer) basis are operational in Hazira, Sikka, Dahej,
Muldwaraka, Pipavav, Okha, Mandvi. Twenty seven captive jetties operational along the coast of Gujarat have
accounted for as high as 56% of total capacity handled during 2011-12. Development of Captive Jetties has realized
private investment to the tune of INR 750 Cr in 2011-12. Further, GMB has identified Private Port locations that can
be operated under BOOT model in Mundra, Hazira, Dahej, Dholera and Poshitra, Simar, Vansi-Borsi, Nargol, Bedi
along with Kachchigadh, Mahuva, Khambhat, Dahej (north of DHIL jetty) and Modhawa for future development.
Pipav, Dahej, Mundra, Hazira are key regions for the growth of the industry with significant expansion plans including
specialty terminals. Increasing cargo activity and port capacities, would result in high demand for specific skills in
core and allied areas.
2) Chemical & Chemical Products:
Gujarat is looking at moving forward to become the ‘Petro capital’ of India. Gujarat accounts for more than half of
India’s onshore crude Production. The State offers immense opportunities across the energy value chain. Progressive
and investor friendly industrial policies, including rationalization of tax regime, power reforms and SEZ development
coupled with the logistical proximity to Middle East gas resources, are among the significant growth enablers for the
sector. The State contributes to around 20 percent of India’s total chemical production. It produces about 98 percent
of total soda ash, 90 percent of liquid chlorine and 66 percent of phosphatic fertilizers. Gujarat also houses India’s
only chemical port terminal, which has a capacity of 3 million metric tonnes.
Gujarat has a well-established distribution gas network and the LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej have led to a
strong local consumer base. Presence of cooperatives such as IIFCO, KRIBHCO, power companies like NTPC and GEB
and industrial majors such as Reliance, have led to a vibrant energy sector in Gujarat. The Jamnagar refinery is the
largest in India in terms of refining capacity, and is also considered the biggest grassroots refinery in the world.
Gujarat has oil & gas reserves located at Ankleshwar, Mehsana, Tapti High, Hazira, Bharuch, Gandhar, Dahej,
Jambussar, Palej, Kalol and isolated gas fields around Ahmadabad. In addition to this, it has discovered oil reserves
in Dholka and Khambat.
3) Drugs & Pharmaceuticals:
The state of Gujarat accounts for 40 percent of India’s total pharmaceutical production and 17 percent of its exports.
There exist over 3,000 drug manufacturing units. The State houses several established companies such as Torrent
Pharma, Zydus Cadila, Alembic Pharma, Sun Pharma and Dishman Pharmaceuticals, that have operations in the
world’s major pharma markets.
Several factors have contributed to Gujarat’s well-established pharmaceutical industry. Gujarat is a strong
pharmaceutical manufacturing hub having a large number of small and medium manufacturing units. Its rich base of
supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients has attracted several multinational players such as Wyeth, SanofiAventis and Abbott to set up facilities in Gujarat. There are several pharma clusters around Ahmedabad, Baroda, and
Vapi. Over 300 large projects in the sector have already been commissioned; while over 100 are under
implementation. Gujarat has a strong infrastructure backbone with good connectivity of road, rail, air and water. The
well established linkages with raw material and machinery suppliers are significant growth drivers for the industry.
45
4) Gems & Jewellery:
The Gems & Jewellery industry is a fascinating industry in many ways: traditional, on one hand and glamorous on the
other. It is undergoing a gradual change from an object of investment to a fashion accessory. It is one of the fastest
growing industries in the country, and contributes to about 15 percent of India’s total exports. With diamond and
jewellery units located in the cities of Gujarat –– Ahmedabad, Palanpur, Bhavnagar, Valsad, Navsari and Surat ––
the state becomes one of the main contributors to the gems & jewellery industry in India.
Almost 80 percent of the cutting & polishing of diamonds (processing) is done in Gujarat. Ninety percent of total
diamonds in Gujarat are processed by about 10,000 diamond units located in and around Surat, alone. Gujarat’s Gems
& Jewellery sector is expected to grow at a rate of 15-20 percent in the current financial year. The future growth is
likely to be driven by increased exports to US and other international markets and through domestic consumption.
Gujarat offers a unique combination of demographics, supply base, government initiatives and production capacity.
Gujarat has the talent pool needed to support this industry. India’s leading institutes in this field, such as Indian
Diamond Institute and National Institute of Fashion Technology, are located in Gujarat. In addition to this, skilled
labour is easily available and the labour costs are relatively lower as compared to other states in India. Gujarat offers
economies of scale for capacity expansion due to large number of units and technology upgradation.
5) Textile:
The textile Industry is one of the oldest and the most important sectors of the Indian economy. Gujarat’s textile
industry contributes in a big way to the industrialization of the State. About 33 percent of cotton production in the
country is from Gujarat, and the state contributes to about 35 percent of the woven fabrics from the organized sector
in India. The city of Surat alone, contributes 40 percent of art silk fabric produced in India, and is the largest
production base for man-made fabrics. Further, 23 percent of the State GDP comes from textiles. Gujarat contributes
around 20 percent of textile exports from India and 6 percent of garments export in India.
In the early 1990s, Gujarat saw a dramatic change in the textile industry scenario with the entry of denim
manufacturing. Arvind Mills, Soma Textiles, Modern Denim started manufacturing denim in Gujarat, and soon the
State was known as ‘India’s land of denim’.
Large availability of raw material like cotton has significantly contributed to the growth of textile sector in Gujarat.
Proximity to ports and other modes of transport, liberal labour policies, cheap raw material and well developed textile
machinery industry, are all factors attracting companies to set up units in Gujarat. In recent times, there has been a
shift in the textile hub from Mumbai to Gujarat, largely due to lower cost of real estate in Gujarat. The State is also
supporting development of SEZs by giving tax incentives.
6) Food Processing:
The Indian farming sector has come a long way since independence. India is the world's second largest producer of
food, next only to China. Over the last few years, a shift has been observed in the Indian food consumption pattern.
46
These changes have given rise to the emerging industry of food processing. This industry is one of the largest
industries in India; as it constitutes about 13 percent of manufacturing GDP and employs over 12 million people.
Gujarat has witnessed an impressive agricultural growth in the last five years and is the largest producer of castor
and tobacco in India. Gujarat boasts of being the leader in exports of processed food and vegetables in India with a
strong base of 3,700 small scale and 150 large & medium scale food processing units. Companies such as ITC, Amul,
Hindustan Lever, McCain have explored the potential of this sector in Gujarat.
Gujarat with a strong agricultural base, 3.6 million hectares of irrigated land and well developed agro research
capabilities is well positioned to drive the growth of food processing industry. Gujarat offers a large number of
incentives to set up food processing units. Hassle free policies such as single window clearance, a strong agricultural
marketing network with over 200 Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees (APMCs) and over 110 cold storages,
are some of the enablers that have facilitated the rapid growth of this industry. The State also provides financial
incentives by offering interest subsidies to agro-industrial units and air & sea freight subsidies for agro exports.
Tertiary Sector
Tertiary sector is a key economic sector in the Gujarat economy contributing to 43 percent of total Gross State
Domestic Product. The net income from the tertiary sector has witnessed a CAGR of 16.3 percent between 2004-05 to
2010-11 61. Growth trends of tertiary sector income in the state are presented in the chart 62.

The Gujarat government has devised the Blueprint for Infrastructure in Gujarat 2020 (BIG 2020) for industrial
development and targets to expand the service sector and stimulate the per capita income of Gujarat. The Vibrant
Gujarat Global Investment Summit (VGGIS) which are held twice in a year, have been successful in projecting Gujarat,
as a preferred investment destination. Further, the Gujarat Government has been granted approval by the central
government for setting up the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) SEZ, Gandhinagar which would be the first
operational International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in India. This promises high growth for the services sector.
7) IT/ITES:
Currently, there are more than 1000 ICT and BPO firms operating in Gujarat. Apart from that, 1250 firms are
registered with Gujarat Electronics & Software Industries Association (GESIA). IT exports from Gujarat are estimated
to be Rs. 1150 Cr for the year 2010-11. IT exports have risen by 11 percent as against the for the numbers in 2009-10.
While there are IT and ITES firms like TCS, Patni Computers Ltd and Mphasis which are already present in the State,
there are other firms including Collabera, Syntel Inc, Vora Technology Park, e-Infochips and others which are
expected to set up and expand their operations in the state.
Total investment planned in terms of the various IT projects has been estimated to be around 4,289 Cr INR by 2020.
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have been planned for IT/ITES industry out of which 7 are notified SEZs and 7 have
64
48
been granted formal approval. Of the 7 notified SEZs, 4 are in Gandhinagar, 2 are in Ahmadabad and 1 is in Vadodara.
Of the 7 SEZs which have been granted formal approval, 4 are in Ahmadabad, 2 are in Vadodara and 1 is in Valsad.
The IT Policy in Gujarat has been formulated with the following key features 1. Provision of employment to 200,000 persons.
2. Identification of land and reserve for setting up of IT Industry/ IT Parks.
3. Assistance to IT industry/infrastructure for land acquisition.
4. Advisory to Municipal Corporations for designing of town planning schemes to accommodate IT parks.
5. Grant of SEZ status to IT Parks.
Apart from the above policies, there have been policies to provide capital subsidy to new IT units, turnover incentives
for IT units and reduction of sales tax for purchase of computer hardware and peripherals. There are other initiatives
taken by The Gujarat government in the form of Gujarat State Wide Area Network which is the largest internet
protocol-based network to connect the capital, districts and block HQs, creation of comprehensive directory of
Gujarat’s ICT industry and formation of IT Program Implementation Committee in Department of Science &
Technology. Apart from the above initiatives, the govt. of Gujarat has planned to develop the Gujarat International
Finance Tec-City as global financial hub which opens up multiple promising opportunities in IT/ITES sector.
Gujarat has a couple of IT parks – Infocity in Gandhinagar and GNFC Infotower in Ahmedabad. Two recently set up IT
SEZs viz., "Mindspace", Gandhinagar by M/s K Raheja and "Knowledge Park", Vadodara by M/s L&T, have also
become operational. Further, Ahmedabad – Gandhinagar knowledge corridor is going to be an IT SEZ hub. According
to Mr. Som Mittal, former President of NASSCOM, the IT industry in Gujarat is expected to grow at 15 percent over
the next 10 years.
8) Tourism and Hospitality:
Gujarat has witnessed strong growth in the tourism industry with an 85 percent growth in tourist arrivals from 20052011. The total tourist arrival as of 2010-11 has been around 19 million. The overall growth in the total tourist arrivals
on a YoY (Year on Year) basis has been higher than the national figures which underlines the strong performance by
Gujarat tourism.
The international tourist arrivals has grown at a CAGR of 15% from 2005 which has been boosted by the growth
importance of the state as a global business hub.
Gujarat comprises of five major tourism circuits – Kutch circuit, North Gujarat circuit, Ahmedabad Circuit, Saurashtra
Circuit and South Gujarat Circuit.
The tourism potential of Gujarat is amazingly multi-faceted. It comprises of –
a. Religious and spiritual destinations - Dwarka, Somnath and Akshardham Temple at Gandhinagar
b. Wildlife tourism – 4 National Parks and 21 Sanctuaries
c.
Beaches – One of the longest coastlines along Ahmedpur Mandvi and Surat
49

g. Cultural Festivals – Navratri celebrations (Longest dance festival in the world), Modhera dance festival
Tourism sector in Gujarat is governed by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) which has setup Gujarat
Tourism Opportunities Limited (GUJTOP) for the development of tourist sites and Guj-Tour Development Company Ltd
(GUJTOUR) to develop, create and market tourism-related infrastructure and projects. Further, the Gujarat
government has appointed Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador of Gujarat tourism. Apart from the above
initiatives, the budgetary allocation towards tourism sector has also increased from Rs. 183 crore in FY11 to Rs. 200
crore in FY 12.
9) Trade and Retail:
The retail sector in Gujarat has grown with the increase in the per capita income and changes in consumer behavior.
There is a mix of unorganized and organized retail players in Gujarat. There have been multiple entries of big private
retail firms like Champion Agro, Future Group and ACIL Cotton Industries. Further, food retail chains like Food Bazaar,
Reliance Fresh and Spencer have setup operations in Gujarat with sourcing from local farmers. The government has
spearheaded the initiative to strengthen the rural sector in Gujarat with setup of Village Malls where fair prices
shops are setup to cater to the needs of local population. There has also been support from the government for firms
to setup firms in rural Gujarat.
10) Transport and Logistics:
As of Jan 2013, the total road length in the state is 74,038 km out of which National Highways account for 3,229 km
(4 percent of total road length) and State Highways account for 18,556 km (25 percent of total road length). Further,
out of 18,066 villages in Gujarat, 17,856 villages (98.84 percent) are connected with pucca roads 65. Hence, 98.84%
villages are connected by "pucca" roads. Gujarat has a total rail route of 5,271 km (as of 2010-11) which is the fourth
highest in the country after Uttar Pradesh (8,763 km), Rajasthan (5,784 km) and Maharashtra (5.602 km). The state
government has taken up various steps to improve transport options. These include conversion of existing railway
lines from narrow/meter gauge to broad gauge and setting up new railway lines to connect the industry points,
logistic hubs and ports. Apart from the railways and roads, Gujarat has 41 minor and intermediate ports. The ports in
Gujarat handle a total traffic of 342 MMT as of 2011-12, which accounts for 37 percent of total traffic 66.

11) Medical Services:
Penetration of medical institutions has been calculated as the number of people who can avail the services of a
medical institution. Considering that there are 1,823 hospitals for a total population of 6.04 crores, the penetration of
medical services stands at one medical institution per 33,123 people. Coverage of healthcare in Gujarat as against
national average can be better understood from the indicators of density of PHCs and CHCs. As per 2012 estimates,
Gujarat has one PHC serving 16 villages in comparison to 27 in India while one CHC in Gujarat served 60 villages as
against 133 in India. Both these indicators show better penetration of healthcare services in Gujarat. However,
district wise analysis presents regional variations within the state, highlighting the need to enhance Government
focus on improving healthcare accessibility in those regions. While coverage of healthcare infrastructure in rural
areas is crucial, urban regions would have significant private participation to compensate for the low accessibility of
Government healthcare institutions. Districts of Surat, Ahmedabad and Vadodara seem to have significantly high
private participation in Gujarat. Details of district wise healthcare penetration comparisons are presented in the
table 69.

The government of Gujarat has introduced various health sector reforms like (a) E-Mamta to minimize mother-infant
death rate through provision of health services at pre and post delivery times. (b) School Health Programme (SHP)
aimed at better health for school children and Chiranjeevi Yojana in providing safe deliveries to women primarily from
financially weaker sections of society. Apart from the above initiatives, the government has also come up with social
health insurance schemes, community health welfare schemes and employee state insurance schemes. The key
industry players in healthcare are Sterling, Apollo, Fortis, Wockhardt and Mayflower.
12) Financial Services:
As on March 2012, there is a presence of 5,279 scheduled commercial banks in Gujarat out of which 1,099 banks
belong to SBI and its associates, 3,012 are nationalized banks and 476 are regional rural banks. As of March 2012,
Gujarat has a total deposit of Rs. 3,06,113 crores and a total credit of Rs. 2,13,447 crores. Penetration of Banking and
Financial Services has been calculated as the number of people who can avail the services of a bank. Considering
that there are 5,279 banks for a total population of 6.04 crores, the penetration of banking and financial services
stands at a 15,782 number of people per bank as against national average of 13,379. District wise penetration in
Gujarat has significant variations with Navsari having the highest penetration with 7,393 people having access to a
bank and Dohad having the least penetration with 28,354 people having access to a bank. Details of district and state
penetration comparisons are presented in the table 71.

Agriculture and Allied activities have a significant place in the economy of the state. The geographical regions of
Gujarat can be divided into three distinct regions, a corridor having the industrial mainland, the peninsular region of
Saurashtra and the Kutch region consisting of desert and marshland. The state has a number of rivers like Narmada
Sabarmati, Tapi, Purna, Damanganga and Rukmavati flowing through it which helps in the development of irrigation
facilities and fishery. The climatic zones of the state based on the location have the following specifications 72:

The state has a prominent agriculture profile with 60.62 percent of the net geographical area under cultivation.
Kheda, Mehsana, Amreli, Surat, Gandhinagar, Anand, Patan, Bhavnagar and Banaskantha districts have more than 70
percent of their net geographical area under cultivation. The state lags behind in irrigation facilities with only 36.33
percent of the net cultivated lands under irrigation although regions like Anand have 89.49 percent of the net sown
area under irrigation. Open wells and bore wells are the major sources of irrigation responsible for 71 percent of the
net irrigated land. The presence of several rivers in the state opens several opportunities for the improvement of
irrigation facilities in the state. Large scope for the operation and maintenance of pumps and tube wells would
mandate requirement of skilled manpower with skilling on repair and maintenance. Further there is an increasing
need to promote micro irrigation and water management programs in the district.
The soil fertility index of the state soil is moderate for agriculture. Most of the districts have low organic carbon,
nitrogen and phosphorus content indicating large scale usage of nitrogen rich fertilizers. Awareness levels of organic
farming and vermi compost methods are low, indicating a need to improve the same in order to promote sustainable
agricultural practices.
Wheat, Paddy, Sugarcane, Ground nut, Cotton, Castor, Bajra, and Pulses, are the main crops in Gujarat which covered
74,49,176 Ha. in Kharif and Rabi seasons. The major horticulture crops in Gujarat state are Mango, Sapota, Citrus,
Banana (Fruit crops), Brinjal, Potato, Onion, Cabbage, Cucurbits (Vegetables) Cumin, etc. There are 23 taluka seed
farms in the district, targeted to improve the availability of quality seeds.
The state has around 10 percent of its net area under forest cover consisting of tropical deciduous, tropical thorn and
tropical swamp forest. Tropical moist Deciduous Forest in the Southern most part of the state, forms the main source
of commercial timber in the state.
Cow and buffalos are the main cattle varieties in Gujarat with their population being 83,75,672 and 81,15,062
respectively 73. Other prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are sheep and goat. Availability
of large pasture lands indicates significant potential to promote animal husbandry in the district. Along with
strengthening animal husbandry activities among small and marginal farmers through advanced rearing training,
there is a need for integrating animal husbandry with promotion of organic farming.
Educating farmer communities/ groups on marketing and processing would be crucial to enhance the revenue
benefits to marginal communities by limiting the role of middlemen. Government initiatives to set up agricultural
collection centers towards achieving this objective have to be supplemented by relevant training programs.

6.2. Work Force Distribution in the State
Gujarat has witnessed significantly high participation of working age group in economic activities. As per NSSO 66th
Round Employment Survey, Labour Participation Rate (LPR) per 1000 persons from 15-59 age group in the state, based
on current daily status, stood at 581 - in comparison to the national average of 546. While the overall LPR has been
better than national average, low female participation across both urban and rural areas is a key concern. Urban
female participation in the labor force is lower than rural regions due to dependency on agricultural and allied
activities among rural female population. Low female labor force participation in urban areas is linked to limited
employment opportunities available to minimally skilled/semi skilled women. This represents enormous
opportunities to create additional employment - especially in household industries through specific training and
support.
Worker Participation Rate (WPR) per 1000 persons from 15-59 age group in Gujarat at 552 is higher than the national
average of 509 in line with Labour Participation Rate. While there is a significant difference in participation rates
across urban and rural regions with the participation rates better in rural areas, seasonal nature of agricultural work
would mean underemployment for a significant section of the agricultural workforce force in the state especially in
Saurashtra region. Proportion of unemployed youth in the working age group standing at 30 persons per 1000 people
in 15-59 age groups is lower than the national average of 37. Issue of unemployment has to be addressed through
skill development initiatives aimed at ensuring employability. District wise variations in participation rates are
significant in Gujarat. As per 2001 estimates, rural districts of Narmada, Dahod, The Dangs have registered high
participation rates while urban areas of Ahmedabad, Jamnagar and Rajkot have registered lower participation rates.
High participation rates in rural regions are attributed to high dependency on agriculture and allied activities.
Detailed classification of districts into high, medium and low worker participation regions is presented in the chart.

Category-wise employment intensity in Gujarat according to usual status approach among employment
categories of NIC -2004 industry classification, indicates considerable deviation from the national average.
While agriculture and allied activities still remain prime source of livelihood for a majority of the workforce, the
state has a high dependency on manufacturing, retail and series activities in comparison to national standards.
Detailed industry wise classification of workforce in Gujarat and India as per NSSO 66th Employment Survey is
presented in the chart.

Regional and sectoral analysis of large scale industrial employment indicates a clear concentration of employment in
key sectors within key districts. Ahmedabad, Kutch, Bharuch, Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot account for a majority share
of employment in this category, while other districts like Dahod, Narmada and Patan have lower levels of industrial
employment opportunities. Regional break up of large scale industrial employment is presented in the chart 76

6.3. Human Resource Supply Scenario in the state (2012-17, 2017-22)
The demographic composition of Gujarat has been witnessing significant changes largely due to control of population
growth and regional migration of working age. As per KPMG estimations, in the near term, Gujarat has significant
demographic dividend, with a rising working age population. Between 2012 and 2017, an additional 60.51 lakh 78 are
expected to enter the working age group population followed by another 56.67 lakh during 2017-22 79. However, with
significant population entering the 60+ age group proportion of working age population is expected to show a
marginal growth over the next decade. Demographic composition trends in state population are presented in the
chart.

Availability of working age group population in a district is an indication of human resource potential present in the
economy. However, migration would play a crucial role in determining the exact composition of the population.
Ensuring adequate skilling of the available workforce is necessary to increase productivity in the economy, and thus
propel state economic growth.
Gujarat workforce projections for 2012, 2017 and 2022 are estimated considering the WPR from the NSSO 66th
Round Employment Survey, and applying it over the estimated population in the 15-59 age group for these periods.
78

The overall workforce numbers would change because of the change in working age group population (15-59 age
population). Availability of working age population measured from the 15-59 age group population is estimated to
grow to 419 lakhs by 2017 and 446 lakhs by 2022. Labour force measured from number of people looking for
employment in the working age group is expected to reach 259 million 81 by 2022, increasing the need for employment
creation over the next decade even to sustain the current levels of labour force and worker participation rates.

6.4. Human Resource Requirement in the State
6.4.1. Incremental Manpower Requirement Projections (2012-17, 2017-22)
Incremental manpower requirement in Gujarat has been estimated based on several parameters such as investment
trends, national level benchmarks on industrial growth across sectors, state manufacturing policy targets,
performance of state against economy targets, national level inclusion targets for certain sectors, employment
generation potential of various sectors based on labour elasticity and market based insights from discussions with
industries in Gujarat. Based on the analysis of current state of workforce distribution and potential employment
opportunities in various sectors incremental manpower requirement in key primary, secondary and tertiary segments
is estimated for the periods 2012-17 and 2017-22. Further, manpower requirement is classified into skilled, semi
skilled and minimally skilled categories considering the present level of employment in these categories for
respective sectors and analysis of expected developments in the industry that would lead to significant realignment
of the categories. Detailed approach for manpower estimations is presented in the appendix and specific factors for
estimation are discussed below.
Primary Sector:
Considering the increasing level of farm mechanization and sharing agricultural land usage, period between 2012 and
2022 would witness a net out flux of workforce from the agricultural activities. Agricultural workforce displacement is
expected to be significant in the marginal workers category. A significant portion of the workforce would engage in
agri-allied activities depending on the availability of allied resources and migrational constraints. Incremental
manpower requirement for the agri- allied activities is estimated considering the following parameters
•
•
•
Current level of employment in agricultural activities (farmers, agricultural labourers).
Estimated displacement factors for agricultural workforce based on Planning Commission Projections for
2012-17 and 2017-22 periods and analysis of level of mechanization and allied factors in Gujarat.
Employment potential in agri-allied activities in the state considering the level of involvement in the
respective activities and regional conditions.
Manufacturing Sector:
Manpower requirement in the secondary sector is driven by investments and output growth. Various factors including
analysis of manufacturing, sub sector policies, investment trends, availability of resources, are considered for the
incremental manpower estimation in different subsectors of manufacturing in the state. Human resource requirement
projections for manufacturing sub sectors in the state are estimated considering the following parameters
•
•
•
•
Manufacturing growth targets for Gujarat for 2012-17 and 2017-22(Increasing secondary sector share in
GSDP to 32% by 2017)
Identifying key growth sub segments within Gujarat based on a study of the existing industrial base and
primary interactions with experts
Estimation of growth targets for Gujarat based on analysis of investment trends, state comparable analysis,
available infrastructure, policy thrust on key manufacturing segments identified
Labour elasticity factors in the potential sectors.
63
Tertiary Sector:
Employment growth in some of the services sectors is driven by Government thrust in terms of budgetary allocations
to achieve inclusion targets in education, healthcare and banking, while the other segments including hospitality and
tourism, financial intermediation, communication, retail would depend on the level of economic activity in the region
resulting in high or low spending capacity of population. Also, segments like IT-ITES, transportation & logistics are
driven by investments into infrastructure and manpower. Hence human resource requirement projections for services
sub sectors would have specific approaches depending on the growth drivers for the segments in the district.
Detailed methodology for estimation of manpower in services sub segments is presented in the appendix.
Based on the analysis of socio economic conditions, investment scenario and availability resources incremental
manpower requirement has been estimated for the following sectors.

Education & Training
Manpower growth in the districts of Gujarat is driven by secondary and tertiary sectors. Incremental manpower
requirement in the state is dependent on the setting up of new industries, and on expansion of existing industries
along with the trend of workforce migration. According to KPMG estimates, an additional increase in incremental
manpower requirement during XII plan and XIII plan periods will be 3 million and 2.65 million. Significant portion of
64
the new jobs created, especially in Agri-Allied activities (0.42 million during XII Plan), Construction (0.26 million
during XII Plan), Trade & Retail (0.21 million during XII Plan) and Textiles (0.16 million during XII Plan) would witness
mere realignment of workforce displaced from agriculture - due to the expected impact of mechanization on
cultivation activities.
Skilled workers category denotes those skills acquired through professional degrees (study duration greater than 5
years after Std X), Semi Skilled Category denotes skills acquired through vocational training (study duration greater
than 3 years after Std X) and Minimally skilled category requires basic understanding of job which require minimal or
no formal training. Details of sector wise skill requirements during 2012-22 are presented in the table 83.

Further, the state has significant regional variations in incremental manpower requirements with the districts of
Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Kutch, Bhavnagar and Gandhinagar expected to drive the employment growth
during 2012-22. On the other hand, The Dangs, Narmada, Tapi would have low potential to absorb trained youth,
indicating that these regions could become training ground for skilled manpower to be placed in industrial clusters of
Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara. Details of district wise incremental manpower break up along with key sectors
accounting for the major employment share are presented in the table 84.

6.5. Human Resource Development Scenario in Gujarat
In order to promote economic and industrial development in a state, the essential requirement is the capacity to
develop skilled manpower of good quality in adequate number. Gujarat being an industrially developed state with
significant opportunities for organized employment, there is an ever increasing need for graduates and skilled
professionals. Further, considering the entrepreneurial aspirations of the youth, education would play a crucial role to
develop professionally trained human resources in the area of entrepreneurship, to augment the industrial
development in the state. While historically, Gujarat has been a knowledge society with educational infrastructure
comparable to the national average, the situation has changed very rapidly during 2001-11 as the Government of
Gujarat has embarked on various initiatives in higher education and technical education. Continuous efforts directed
towards enhancing the capacity and quality of education has resulted in substantial increase in number of students
from other states coming to Gujarat to access quality education.
6.5.1. School Education
The State has witnessed a steady decline in the number of enrollments across the levels of primary, upper primary,
secondary and higher secondary levels 86. While Ahmadabad has the highest number of total enrollments across the
various levels, The Dangs has had the lowest number of enrollments in the period of 2010-11. District wise details of
school statistics are presented in the table 87.

6.5.2. Higher and Technical Education
As per 2010-11 statistics, Gujarat has over 8.9 lakh enrollments in higher education across streams standing eighth
among the states in India. Penetration of higher education in a region is better indicated by number of enrollments
per 1000 population. While Gujarat has a marginally better penetration of higher education compared to national
average, other progressive knowledge economies like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have higher
penetration than Gujarat. Comparison of Gujarat with other Indian states and national average is shown in the chart.

Faculty wise breakup of enrollments in Gujarat brings out clear focus that the state has laid down on improving
technical education over the years with Engineering/Technology enrollment proportions higher than the national
average. Another striking difference is in the state impetus to develop quality faculty across education streams
primarily in schools through graduate/post graduate programs (B.Ed/M.Ed) in education. State has a significantly high
proportion of 8.5% total enrollments in education in comparison to national average of 3.2%. High focus on training
adequate faculty is crucial to try and solve the issues of faculty shortages in schools over the next decade.
In Gujarat the institutional framework consists of Universities established by an Act of Parliament (Central
Universities) or of a State Legislature (State Universities), Deemed Universities (institutions which have been
accorded the status of a university with authority to award their own degrees through central government
notification), Institutes of National Importance (prestigious institutions awarded the said status by Parliament), and
Institutions established by State Legislative Act and colleges affiliated with the University (both government-aided
and unaided). Overview of educational institutions in Gujarat is presented in the table.

Technical education governed by AICTE is treated as a separate segment at the state level and is monitored by
Directorate of Technical Education. Gujarat has leading technical education institutions like IIM Ahmedabad, IIT
Gandhinagar, NIT Surat, NID, NIFT, IIT-RAM along with GTU (Gujarat Technical University) set up by the State
Government. These eminent institutions provide immense opportunities to leverage their research capabilities to
mentor other institutions in related domains. Intake of engineering institutions has witnessed significant growth from

Gujarat currently has about 20 universities of which 10 are private universities (6 already existing and 4 new have
been approved and will commence operations soon). Gujarat has over 900 institutions of higher learning and research
which educate approximately 551,398 students. Gujarat has instituted approximately 34,323 engineering seats and
approximately 47,753 diploma engineering seats. At the post-graduation (Masters) level approximately 10,492 seats
are available across various disciplines. While Gujarat has made tremendous progress in terms of industrial
development and is considered to be one of the fastest developing states, the higher education system in Gujarat has
had challenges in delivering graduates fit to be readily employed in the market.
6.5.3. Vocational Education
Vocational Education is another stream of higher education in Gujarat catering to the ever increasing manpower
needs of burgeoning industrial growth in the state. Public and private polytechnics and vocational training institutions
(ITI s/ ITCs / VTPs) exist in the state which are controlled and supervised by National Council for Vocational Training
(NCVT) and Gujarat Council for Vocational Training (GCVT). Training capacities in Government institutions still forms
major share (73.8 percent) of overall vocational training capacity. Vocational training infrastructure in institutions
offering accredited courses under NCVT/GCVT is presented in the table 92.

6.5.4. Key Government Initiatives
Gujarat Government has embarked various initiatives to augment capacity in higher and technical education along
with improving quality of education and focusing on employability of youth. Engaging the private sector more actively
in both formal and non formal modes of education is a key initiative considering the financial constraints for
Government expenditure on education. The key initiatives of the government to improve the quality and further the
development of higher education in Gujarat, are as follows:
Attracting Private Investments into Education:

Private Universities Bill: The Government of Gujarat has passed the Private Universities Bill allowing the
formation of private universities without having to pass legislation through the Assembly. Any private
institution applying for a private university would be evaluated by the Department of Education and the
Department would amend the schedule of the Private Universities Bill on meeting eligibility criteria. This
initiative is aimed at enabling hassle free processing of applications there by attracting private investments.
PPP Initiatives: Public Private Partnerships are initiated in higher education and vocational education in areas
of capacity building, training and faculty training
Promotional Schemes under Industries Department for Manpower Development: Government of Gujarat has
initiated promotional schemes through Center for Entrepreneurship Development (CED) aimed at increasing
private participation in vocational education. Schemes for (i) setting up extension centers/Skill Up gradation
Centers(SUCs) at GIDC estates, ITI premises, industrial clusters, industrial parks, SEZs, investment regions (ii)
Specialized Skill Development Centers, providing financial assistance towards capital expenditure
(building/land/equipment), are currently undertaken by the Government.
Prominent private vocational institutes including NSDC, partners have setup training centers in Gujarat under
these schemes. Currently there are 49 approved SUCs in the state. Everonn Skill Development Limited (12
centers), Gurukul Online Learning Solution(16 centers), Teamlease Services Ltd(4 centers), EdServe(3
centers), CIDC(3 centers), TOPS(3 centers), New Horizon India Pvt Ltd(3 centers), Kohinoor Technical Institute
Pvt Ltd(2 centers), Centum(1) have started training centers. Currently 11 proposals have been approved for
SDCs with prominent industrial players and training institutes like Apollo Tyres, ABG Shipyard and
Ahmedabad Textile Industry’s Research Association (ATIRA).
These initiatives are a significant step towards garnering higher private participation in the vocation
education stream and reducing the burden on Government in capacity building to cope up with the increasing
demand for skilled professionals in the state. Performance details of these schemes from the date of
inception are given in the table 93.

anchor institutes. Across sectors, around 400 training programs have been conducted training over 10,000
trainers/students till date.
• Mission Mode Implementation initiative to promote inter collage collaboration has been initiated in 2009.
State/district/zonal level networks are crated to conduct faculty training, knowledge sharing and research
6.5.5. Challenges in the Current Education System
Demand-Supply Gap:
Successful implementation of universal education programs at school level has triggered the need to expand higher
education facilities across India, and more specifically in Gujarat, which has witnessed a steep raise in school
enrollments over the last decade. While the higher education capacities have registered significant growth,
considering the low base of higher education institutes, gaps in the educational system continued to exist. Capacity
gaps and affordability are key reasons for drop outs. A measure of the spread of higher education is the Gross
Enrolment Rate (GER). GER is an index which measures the enrolment in higher education of the population in the age
group of 18-24. GER scenario in Gujarat is on par with of the national average as per 2007-08 estimates. However, if
we compare the GER of other countries like China - 22 per cent, Brazil-73 per cent, UK-59 per cent and USA-82 per
cent, Gujarat has a long way to improve on this front through strategic interventions in capacity building to augment
private participation.
79
A view of the current enrollment status across levels of education would provide a picture of emerging capacity gaps
over the next decade or so. Current primary enrollments (5 years) in Gujarat standing at 58 lakhs would indicate that
in the next decade when this age group moves into the stage of higher education, there would be only opportunities
for 8.9 lakhs, depriving the other students of higher education access. It would suggest that current capacities can
match a GER of only 15.35 by the end of the next decade. This is a serious concern faced by a majority of the states in
India. Considering the need to create trained manpower for growing industries and to develop Gujarat into a
knowledge economy, significant capacity expansion is required in higher education. On conservative estimates, if the
GER targets for India (30% by the end of 12th plan period 2012-17) have to be matched, current education
infrastructure in the state has to nearly be doubled by 2017.
Figure 22: Enrollments in Gujarat across Education Levels 95
Low Penetration of Vocational Education:
Vocational education can play the role of bridging the skill gap. The vocational educational system in Gujarat needs
significant growth in order to match the standards of some leading countries that focus on vocational education like
Germany, Singapore and China.. The state should emphasize improving the vocational education infrastructure.
Regional imbalances in Capacities:
Concerns of inclusion across regions are central to the expansion of education and training in Gujarat as is the case
with other states in India. Historically, private institutions have focused on urban regions while in rural areas it is
predominantly Governments that drive the education system. Low affordability for private education in rural areas is
the key reason for limited interest from private players. Government policies on capacity creation have been
traditionally based on population prorate basis in a region. This has resulted in limited capacities across rural areas
leading to fewer graduating students due to either non-enrolment in higher education or high drop-out rate at the
school level. A comparison of vocational education capacities in the state would show that density of vocational
infrastructure measured as number of seats available for 1000 people is high in the districts of Navsari, Bharuch,
Sabar Kantha, Gandhinagar and low in Porbandar, Surat and Bhavnagar. Level of private participation is low in The
Dangs, Navsari, Porbandar and Jamnagar districts. Capacity expansion in vocational education and augmentation of

private participation has to initiate region specific initiatives considering the current level of variations among the
districts. Details of district wise variations in vocational training infrastructure are presented in the table.

6.6. Demand-Supply Gap Analysis for the State
Demand supply gap based on assessment of existing training infrastructure in comparison to human resource
demand, highlights opportunities for implementing a suitable skill development strategy for the state. While the
approach can be used for estimating the needs of a decade, considering the possibility of changes in training
infrastructure and employment prospects, the current study has analyzed the demand supply gap for a five year term.
Estimation of demand supply gap over XII plan period indicates the significance of Gujarat as an employment hub for
the workforce in semi skilled category, considering the high level of industrial growth to provide employment
opportunities to the semi skilled workforce. Human resource surplus is observed in skilled category considering the
current level of industrial growth. However, the future state of industrial development could potentially change the
scenario. Considering the limitations to the inclusiveness of informal and unorganized sector employment, the
minimally skilled segment would be a human resource deficit category with potential opportunities for migration from
other states. For the XII plan period, the state needs to focus on improving the current state of training infrastructure
for semi skilled workers both in formal and informal segments along with undertaking suitable measures to promote
entrepreneurship among skilled workers considering the surplus scenario in the segment.
Assessment of existing training infrastructure in comparison to human resource demand over XII Plan period,
indicates significant capacity expansion requirement for semi-skilled category through vocational education. Supply
Demand-Supply gap estimates indicates a need to improve participation rates in semi-skilled categories along with
providing vocational skills to high skilled and minimally skilled labour force to ensure adequate considering the high
level of employment opportunities in semi skilled category within the state. Further, employability of highly skilled
graduates is an issue owing to misalignment of courses with industry needs and poor quality of institutes. Issue of
low employability of graduates has to be addressed through suitable up skilling considering local industrial
requirements in order to ensure availability of industry ready manpower.

6.7. Skill Training through Government Endowments
Skill development is one of the national priorities for the Government of India. In the Central Government, around 20
Ministries are closely involved with skill development initiatives either through setting up their own skill training
capacity (done by Ministry of Labour and Employment, Ministry of Higher Education etc) or by providing per-trainee
costs of training for specific target populations (done by Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, Ministry
of Rural Development, Ministry of Minority Affairs etc). While some schemes target state level training mandates on
a population prorate basis others would be linked to sectoral development of respective ministries. Detailed summary
of key Government schemes with training mandate is presented in the table 96.

6.8. Youth Aspirations in Gujarat
Having estimated the skill requirements from an industry perspective, it is important to understand the career
aspirations of youth, who would be the ultimate beneficiaries of employment generation in the state.
Preference for Employment Vs Entrepreneurship: Several factors such as entry level salaries, work environment,
job location, and socio-cultural factors, seem to influence youth preferences towards employment. While certain
communities have established preferences for entrepreneurship in skilled/minimally skilled businesses, low entry
level salaries in industries is another key factor influencing youth preference. Youth in semi urban and rural areas
have expressed higher level of inclination towards entrepreneurship than their urban counterparts due to above
mentioned reasons.
Migration: Migration is linked to socio-regional factors in Gujarat. While youth from certain communities have
aspirations for migrating to US, UK and Middle Eastern countries for jobs, others from industrially less advanced
areas are open for migrating to Surat, Ahmedabad, Kutch and Bhavnagar within Gujarat for better employment
prospects. While industrial belts have the potential to absorb and employ migrants, preference for centrally located
regions like Ahmedabad, Vadodara clusters is high over far away regions like Kutch. Low entry level salaries across
industries is another key factor against migration from even areas with limited organized employment potential
where people would get engaged in self employment otherwise.
Choice of Education and Training Stream: Economic background of an individual is one of the key factors
influencing the program chosen for study. Along with economic background, awareness level about the programs,
typically acquired through family members/seniors, is another major influencing parameter. Students from weaker
sections of the society, both economically and socially, prefer vocational courses over higher education programs.
Vocational streams are considered as strenuous especially in the mechanical sector, which is not preferred by girls
considering the nature of employment involved in these sectors.
Significant influence by peers and family in career decisions: Students in both graduate and ITI categories are
significantly influenced by their peer circle and family members, in their preference for courses. While ITIs in Gujarat
have started awareness programs in schools and during the time of standard X results, career decisions are still
influenced by elders in their families.
Preference for government jobs over private: Youth seem to show higher inclination for jobs in Govt/Govt
Undertaking Sectors like Railways, GEB, IOCL, NTPC and other PSUs. However, considering the limited opportunities
in these segments, private sector jobs offering high job security (Large Corporate like Tata, Reliance, Adani), are the
preferred option for youth in private sector as the salary differences in private sector are not very prominent across
industrial for blue collar jobs.
Awareness of career opportunities high in industrialized districts: Awareness of career opportunities seemed
correlated to the level of economic progress of the districts. Higher awareness levels were observed in students from
the economically developed districts like Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat and Kutch compared to those from
backward districts like The Dangs, Navsari and Panchmahals. ITI students had moderately high awareness of the job
89
opportunities in the government sector. Government initiatives like Computer facilities, Job fairs, UDISHA and SCOPE
have helped in enhancing the awareness about career opportunities among youth across sectors.
Preference for white collar jobs: Youth from vocational/higher education have expressed strong aspiration for
white collar jobs over blue collar jobs. Amongst ITI students from streams that would cater to the shop floor, the
preference for normal working conditions is high due to health and safety reasons.
Higher than market level salary expectations from first job: Youth in the state seem to have marginally higher
expectations than market level salaries.
Sectoral Preference for Employment: Based on interactions with youth on a sample study across the districts of
Gujarat, sectors taken for manpower estimations were classified as high, medium and low aspiration categories
based on their preference to work. Regional considerations along with work place environment and salaries have
significant influence on preferences for sectors. Summary of sector-wise preferences from youth across the state are
presented in the table 98.

Skill Development Attractiveness Matrix for the State:
Skill Development matrix based on incremental employment potential in a sector mapped against preferences of
skilled youth for a career in the respective sectors highlights opportunities for implementing sector level skill
development initiatives. Skill Development Matrix for Gujarat indicates a clear gap between student aspiration and
jobs available in the state. Sectors such as Textile, Construction and Retail need to work on building a positive image
and providing the right working environment/perks to become aspirational sectors and attract talent. Traditional high
employment generating organized sectors like IT/ITES, Healthcare, Banking & Financial Services, Energy and
Education etc, have high employee work preference. Stakeholders in skill development & training need to consider
the youth aspirations while drafting policies/strategies. Skill Development Matrix for the state is presented below.

6.9. Institutional Recommendations for Skill Development in the State
6.9.1. Recommendations for the Government of Gujarat
1. Systematic mechanisms to identify and assist potential school dropouts transition into vocational
programs
Scheme Objectives:
•
In Gujarat, currently less only one-sixth of students move on to Higher Education. Students likely to opt out
of school education should be proactively identified and brought into the fold of the vocational education
system.
•
Integrate vocational courses in school curriculum to equip students with industry relevant skills, as well as
skills for starting businesses and self-employment. This will also ensure reduction in dropout rates.
•
Establish Systems for Integrated Learning with Industry through Multi Level (4 Levels) learning structure,
where Level 1 and 2 trainings are provided in school, and supplemented by Level 3 and 4 trainings in
industry.
Implementation:
•
Class 9th To 12th should be the focus, considering low transition levels from secondary to higher secondary
(38%).
•
Districts with high capacity gaps in secondary and higher secondary systems- Anand(86%), Bhavnagar(78%),
Kutch(77%), Porbandar(73%), Banas Kantha (73%)and Narmada (72%), should be the focus
•
Focus on sectors that are high preference as well as high growth sectors of Gujarat (Auto-Auto Components,
Banking & Financial Services, Hospitality & Tourism, Organized Retail, IT-ITES, and Transportation &
Logistics).
•
Upon successful completion of Level 1 and Level 2, candidates can join industry for Level 3 and Level 4
learning within the industry, or opt for self employment opportunities.
Scheme Enablers:
•
Vocational modules for schools need to be standardized to ensure uniform learning outcomes for Level 1 and
2 courses in schools. Local Industry collaborations can be established for Level 3 and Level 4 trainings to
students.
•
Considering the shortage of faculty for vocational education, the School Education Department can
fund/create systems for Training Trainers for vocational modules In Schools, through ITIs and industry.
92
•
Support for Entrepreneurship of trained candidates through tie-ups with Financial Institutions (Banks,
NBFCs).
2. Develop the Gujarat Skill Development Mission in line with its charter, as a focal agency for skilling



Define the strategic road-map for skill-development in the state for the next decade (2012-17, 2017-22), in
close consultation with other key departments, and central skill development agencies such as the NSDC,
considering the district level skill gap projections. Strategic roadmap would outline the skill development
agenda for the state:

Vocational training capacity building (sector/district level)

Fund allocation plans

Proposed systems to monitor the effectiveness of various training initiatives

Schemes/ structures to garner private participation in the state
Decentralize implementation and monitoring of skill development initiatives through dedicated SDM
chapters at sector level (For focus sectors- Transportation & Logistics, IT/ITES, Auto-Auto components,
Banking & Financial Services, Retail, Healthcare and Hospitality & Tourism) and district level. Suggested
representations:

Anchor Institutes, SSCs, training institutes, industry bodies and key industries for sector level SDM
chapters

Local industries, training institutes, representatives of Government departments for district level
SDM chapters
Leverage on SSC certificated courses and standards that are being developed centrally, especially in the
high aspiration/ high potential focus sectors (mentioned above), and facilitate adoption in the state
3. Focus on Enhancing Skill Training Capacities in Districts With Low Penetration of Vocational
Education

Focus on districts with low penetration of vocational education(seat capacity per population) - Kutch,
Vadodara, Patan, Jamnagar, Anand, Valsad, Banas Kantha, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Narmada, Bhavnagar, Surat
and Porbandar for capacity expansion through public investments/ special schemes to promote private
participation through PPP

Revalidate the existing PPP schemes considering the challenges in implementation of existing schemes
under

Industries Department (CED)
93


Labour & Employment Department

Other Departments focused on specific industry sectors (Textile, IT-ITES etc.,)
Fast-track the NSDC/SSC affiliated partners to setup training in these districts using subsidized government
infrastructure (GIDC etc), by waiving off detailed due-diligence, as NSDC partners are pre-approved through
rigorous due diligence
4. Setting up Anchor Institutes in more focus industries and broadening their scope
Considering the high potential / aspirational value for sectors of Transportation & Infrastructure, IT-ITES, Retail,
Healthcare, Banking & Financial Services, Hospitality & Tourism, new anchor institutes can be setup for research and
faculty training. They can champion adoption of SSC standards & curriculum, and localize it as required (language
etc).
4. Engagement with sector skills councils
Given the high potential as well as aspirational value of the sectors of Transportation & Infrastructure, IT-ITES, Retail,
Healthcare, Banking & Financial Services, Hospitality & Tourism, the state government can engage with the sector
skills councils set up, or in the process of being set up, in these sectors. NSDC has been creating capacity in sector
skills councils, and the state government can have an engagement with them
94
6.9.2. Recommendations for Industry
1. Aligning CSR Goals (especially mandatory 2% CSR requirement) towards skilling, and play an active role in PPP
initiatives. Share annual plan of recruitment with government and industry nodal agencies for skilling
2. Support training institutes in development/delivery of programs
a. Excess production capacity/equipments can be shared with institutes during lean production
hours/shifts
b. Support Training of Trainers (TOT) allowing skilled employees to be trainers for fixed no. of hours, for
ITI faculty, school faculty etc involved in vocational training
c.
Policy to encourage apprenticeships and internships of vocational & ITI students
d. Provide used infrastructure at subsidized costs to academic institutions
e. Support in providing level 3 and level 4 training for students with level 1 and level 2 certifications at
schools (Refer to recommendations on vocational programs in schools)
f.
Participation in development of curriculum for specific trades not available in ITIs/VTPs right now
3. Align recruitment policies to ensure hiring certified manpower from Govt/SSC accredited training institutions
4. Invest in up-skilling of existing manpower and formulate formal HR policies and mechanisms to encourage
employees to train in institutions
95
6.9.3. Recommendations for NSDC
1. Developing Curriculum and Standards for Focus Sectors/ Vocational Courses in Schools
o
SSCs can facilitate development of standardized curriculum that can be designed into four levels
(as per practice in some developed countries), where the first two levels are adopted at 9th-12th
levels of school education, and the next two levels are provided in industry. The districts of Gujarat
where the Higher Education transition is low (Anand, Bhavnagar, Kutch, Porbandar, Banas Kantha
and Narmada), are of particular focus for implementation of the first two levels of courses within
schools
o
SSCs can develop certification standards for high growth/aspirational value sectors of the state Transportation & Infrastructure, Auto & Auto Components, IT-ITES, Retail, Healthcare, Banking &
Financial Services, Hospitality and Tourism.
2. Promoting Private Sector Participation in Focus Sectors & Supply Clusters
NSDC Encouraging NSDC Partners to enhance training capacities in the state by focusing on
o
High growth sectors of the state - Transportation & Logistics, Auto & Auto Components, IT-ITES,
Banking & Financial Services, Tourism & Hospitality, Healthcare and Retail
o
Districts with lower penetration of training infrastructure coupled with high industry growth Kutch, Vadodara, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Surat
96
6.9.4. Recommendations for Training Organizations
1. Focus on high growth/ aspirational value sectors where student acquisition is easier -Transportation &
Logistics, IT-ITES, Banking & Financial Services, Healthcare, Auto & Auto Components, Tourism &
Hospitality and Retail
2. Create capacities in districts with lower penetration of training infrastructure - Kutch, Vadodara, Patan,
Jamnagar, Anand, Valsad, Banas Kantha, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Narmada, Bhavnagar, Surat & Porbandar.
Districts where low penetration of training infra is coupled with high industry growth, are high potential for
future growth of skilling
3. Explore scheme-based training potential to address the skilling needs of under privileges/BPL population key schemes with high training potential are SJSRY, MES, SGSY, Textile Department and Construction Cess
4. Emphasize offering accredited programs (SSC certifications) to ensure industry acceptance for certifications
5. Leverage existing infrastructure to build optimal delivery models (ITI premises, GIDC space where offered,
industrial space during lean production hours etc)
6. Build industry linkages in areas of development and delivery of training programs- placements, curriculum
formulation, apprenticeships, faculty training
7. Engage credible local networks (SHGs, NGOs, student groups such as UDISHA groups) for student
acquisition

6.10.1.1.1. Administrative Profile
Ahmedabad, located in the central part of Gujarat is a key
district. It encompasses Ahmedabad city which is a capital
and seventh largest urban agglomeration in India. It shares
border with Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Bhavnagar, Kheda,
Surendranagar districts on three sides and Gulf of Cambay
in the south. As per 2011 census estimates, Ahmedabad
has a geographical spread of 8087 sq.km. Administratively
the district is divided into 11 talukas and 649 villages 100.
Talukas in Ahmedabad district are Ahmedabad City,
Dascroi, Dholka, Bavla, Dhandhuka Ranpur, Barwala,
Sanand, Viamgam, Mandal and Detroj-Rampura.

Demographic Profile
Ahmedabad district forms heart of economic development of Gujarat with significantly high human resource
potential. As per 2011 census estimates, it has a population of around 72.08 lakhs 101contributing to 11.9 percent 102 of
overall state population. It is among the most densely populated regions in the state with a population density of 890
persons per sq.km 103 in comparison to the state average of 308 persons per sq.km 104. Influx of migrants into industrial
clusters of Ahmedabad from within and outside Gujarat is a key reason for growth of population that has lead to
higher population density. It is predominantly urban with an 84.05 percent 105 share of urban population in the overall
district population. Further, district population is unevenly distributed across the talukas leading to higher human
resource potential in some talukas compared to others. Analysis of Taluka wise population distribution as per 2001
Census indicate that Ahmedabad City and Daskroi regions alone have potential to contribute to over 80 percent 106 of
human resource potential of the district. Taluka wise population distribution details are presented in the table.

Ahmedabad District has a relatively lower composition of female population with a gender ratio of 903 females per
1000 males 108 in comparison to state average of 918 females per 1000 females 109. Gender biased migration of
workforce is a key reason for the biased population composition. Contribution of scheduled categories to the overall
population is not significant indicating that the inclusive growth in Ahmedabad could be achieved through higher
focus on female centric initiatives.
Overall literacy rate in the district standing at 86.65 percent (as per 2011 census) 110 is better than the state average
of 79.31 percent 111. With a literacy rate gap of 16.73 percent 112 between urban and rural areas as against overall
state average of 14.58 percent 113, district is facing with issues of continuing regional variations in literacy that needs
to be addressed through specific focus on rural areas. However, male-female literacy gap of 12.15 percent 114 in the
district is significantly lower than the than the gap of 16.5 percent 115 for Gujarat indicating the higher levels of gender
inclusion in education attainment.
6.10.1.1.3.
Economic Profile
Ahmedabad is an industrially developed district in Gujarat. Improvements in industrial and social infrastructure
coupled with conducive industrial policies by the state government have boosted the growth of economic activity in
the district. Currently there are 12 Industrial Estates, 12 Special Economic Zones, and 10 Industrial Parks operating in
the district, witnessing significant investments over the years. Textiles, chemicals, industrial machinery, metal
products, pharmaceutical, engineering goods, plastics, electrical appliances & electronics, auto & auto components

are key industrial segments within the district. Several business conglomerates such as Adani Group, Reliance
Industries, Nirma Group of Industries, Arvind Mills, Claris Life Sciences, Cadilla Pharmaceuticals, Shell, Vadilal
Industries Ltd., Rasna, Bosch, Rexroth (Germany), Stork and Rollepaal (Netherland) are present in the district.
Considering the infrastructure and location advantage, district has emerged as one of the key destinations for large
scale investments in Gujarat. As per the IEM, LIO, LOP investment details, the district has a total of 563
commissioned 116 large scale industrial units attracting an investment of INR 9473 Cr 117 along with 336 units 118 under
implementation with an investment of INR 6,328 Cr 119. Ahmedabad District has identified locations for the
development of industrial, logistics hubs along the stretch of DMIC (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) between
Ahmedabad and Dholera. Proposed Dholera Port City has significant investment opportunities in industrial and port
logistics sectors spurring the industrial development in nearby region.
Analysis of regional distribution of investments in Ahmedabad district indicates that industrial development is
concentrated around Sanand, Ahmedabad City, Bavla, Dholka and Daskaroi Talukas while other regions including
Viramgam, Ranpur, Mandal, Dhanduka, Barwala, and Detroj- Rampura still remain backward in terms of industrial
development. Over the recent years the State Government has initiated measures to enhance industrial growth in
backward talukas across the state through suitable incentives leading to an increased investment potential of these
regions over the next decade. New GIDC estates were proposed to be set up in Sanand, Mandal and Daskroi talukas.

Ahmedabad District has a well developed infrastructure conductive for the growth of the services sector. Connectivity
by road, rail and air transport system with rest of the country and other parts of the State has resulted in significant
activity in transpiration and logistics sector. National Highway 8 connects Ahmadabad with prominent cities in state
like Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat, Anand, Navsari and Mumbai. Ahmadabad – Vadodara expressway with a stretch
of 95 km 126 has boosted the growth of road transportation between the two cities. Ahmedabad district is well
connected through railway network with a total railway length of 355 km and as high as 60 railway stations. Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, connecting Ahmedabad with major cities in India and international
destinations like USA, Europe and Middle East, has supported the industrial and commercial growth in the region.
Proposed Dholera port city with significant opportunities for port trade has further boosted the logistics sector in the
district.
IT-ITES is a key growth sector in the district attracting large scale investments into Software Development, Business
Process Outsourcing (BPO), Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) segments. Currently district has four notified IT
SEZs- Million Minds SEZ (Chharodi), City Gold Realties Pvt. Ltd.( Sanathal), Adani Township & Real Estates Co. Pvt.
Ltd. (Dantali), 3rd Eye Voice SEZ(Oganaj) indicating a promising growth potential for IT/ITES sector of Ahmadabad.
Developing urban infrastructure and increase in disposable household income has supported the growth in organized
retail sector. Ahmedabad city, especially, has witnessed significant growth in retail space in the recent years.
Penetration of financial services measured as access to bank branches is highest for Ahmedabad district compared to
other districts in Gujarat. As of March 2012, with 874 scheduled and commercial bank branches, district has 8,247
people being served per bank branch. District accounts for highest share of deposits and credit among all districts
with INR 86,903 Cr 127 deposits and INR 2, 13,447 Cr credit 128 as of March 2012 129. While the growth in number of
bank branches is moderate, deposits and credits have witnessed a growth of 22.5 percent and 23.6 percent CAGR
respectively during 2007-12. High growth of banking business has resulted in proportional increase in financial
intermediation activities. Considering the technological operations in banking sector, it would substantially reduce
core banking operations. Future growth in the sector is expected to be driven by financial intermediation providing
significant direct/indirect employment opportunities.
Business and tourism led hospitality growth has become a common phenomena across India. Ahmadabad being a
commercial city, has been witnessing significant growth in hospitality industry across segments like lodging, fastfood, restaurants. Adding to the growth of hotel and restaurant industry from commercial and industrial activity,
tourist attractions of Adalaj Vav (Stepwell), Calico museum (Textile museums), Science City and Nalsarovar Bird
Sanctuary have boosted the growth of tourism based hospitality industry. Event based tourism strategy for festivals
like Uttarayan (kite festival) and Navratri – Garba (folk dance) have helped the growth of the segment.

Growth in social sectors like healthcare and education is predominantly driven by Government thrust. However,
raising income levels, increasing accessibility & affordability of private healthcare have contributed to the growth of
private participation. Ahmadabad, with specialty and multi-specialty hospitals like Krishna Heart Centre, Gujarat
Cancer Society, Apollo Hospital & Sterling Hospital, is increasingly becoming a destination for healthcare tourism
Growth in healthcare tourism would be largely limited to metropolitan cities with the rural areas still depending on
public expenditure for healthcare. The district has 3646 allopathic medical institutions across categories- CHCs,
PHCs, Dispensaries and Hospitals. Due to low levels of healthcare infrastructure and medical professionals in rural
areas, the district would need significant expansion of healthcare facilities to achieve inclusive growth healthcare
targets for 2022.
Ahmadabad has medium to low rainfall conditions with a mix of North Gujarat (Dehgam, Dascroi & Sanand talukas),
Bhal & coastal Area (Dholka and Dhandhuka talukas) and North West Zone (Viramgam and Daskroi) agro climatic
zones. Owning to the soil characteristics, majority of district geographical land is cultivable 130 (65.3 percent of total
area). Cotton, Paddy, Bajra, Castor and Pulses are key crops grown in the district. Being a low rainfall witnessing
region, district has limited spread of irrigation facilities with agricultural irrigation predominantly dependent on tube
wells. Spices, Brinjal, Tomato and ber are some important horticulture crops grown in the district with Flowers grown
over a small area in Dholka taluka.
Diary is a key agri-allied activity in the district. Ahmedabad has a population of 2,16, 941 cows 131 and 3, 43,699
buffalos 132 as per 2007 animal census. Goatery is another prominent animal husbandry in the district. Availability of
large pasture lands indicates significant potential to promote animal husbandry in the district. Fishery has become
prominent source for livelihood for people in Dhandhuka Taluka.
Ahmedabad district has 12480 hectares of Forest predominantly in Dhandhuka, Barwala, Dascroi and Viramgam
talukas. Forestry based livelihood opportunities are prominent in these regions of the district.
6.10.1.2. Current State of Workforce Distribution in the District
Ahmedabad as an industrial and commercial hub has made significant progress towards reducing dependency on
agriculture. The total worker participation rate is lower than state average due to low female participation.
Employment in secondary and tertiary sectors is nearly three fourths of the overall economy. Low female participation
is however a main concern for the district as is the case with most of the urban regions in India. Efforts towards
higher levels of gender inclusion in education and employment are expected to improve the situation over the next
decade. Comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Ahmedabad and Gujarat is presented in the table.

6.10.1.3. Human Resource Requirement Projections in Ahmedabad (2012-22)
Incremental manpower requirement in the Ahmedabad district has been estimated based on several parameters such
as investments trends, national level benchmarks on industrial growth across sectors, state manufacturing policy
targets, performance of state against economy targets, national level inclusion targets for certain sectors,
employment generation potential of various sectors based on labour elasticity and market based insights from
discussions with industries in Ahmedabad. Based on the analysis of current state of workforce distribution and
potential employment opportunities in various sectors incremental manpower requirement in key primary, secondary
and tertiary segments is estimated for the periods 2012-17 and 2017-22. Further, manpower requirement is classified
into skilled, semi skilled and minimally skilled categories considering the present level of employment in these
categories for respective sectors and analysis of expected developments in the industry that would lead to significant
realignment of the categories. A detailed approach for manpower estimations is presented in the appendix and
specific factors for estimation are discussed below.
Primary Sector:
Considering the increasing level of farm mechanization and sharing agricultural land usage, the period between 2012
and 2022 would witness a net out flux of workforce from the agricultural activities. Agricultural workforce
displacement is expected to be significant in marginal workers category. A significant portion of the workforce would
engage in agri-allied activities depending on resource availability and migration constraints. Incremental manpower
requirement for the agri- allied activities is estimated considering the following parameters

Manpower requirement in the secondary sector is driven by increase in investments and output growth. Various
factors including analysis of manufacturing, sub sector policies, investment trends, availability of resources, are
considered for the incremental manpower estimation in different subsectors of manufacturing in the district. Human
resource requirement projections for manufacturing sub sectors in the district are estimated considering the following
parameters
•

interactions
Estimation of growth targets for the district based on analysis of investment trends in the district in
comparison to the state, available infrastructure, policy thrust on key manufacturing segments identified for
the district
Labour elasticity factors in the potential sectors for the district
Tertiary Sector:
Employment growth in some of the services sector is driven by Government thrust in terms of budgetary allocations to
achieve inclusion targets in education, healthcare and banking. Other segments including hospitality and tourism,
financial intermediation, communication, retail depend on the level of economic activity in the region resulting in high
or low spending capacity of population. Also segments like IT-ITES, transportation& logistics are driven by
investments into infrastructure and manpower. Hence human resource requirement projections for services sub
sectors would have specific approaches depending on the growth drivers for the segments in the district. Detailed
methodology for estimation of manpower in services sub segments is presented in the appendix.

6.10.1.4. Human Resource Supply Scenario in the District
6.10.1.4.1. Estimation of Labour Force Supply
District-wise incremental supply has been determined based on net addition of labour force. Gross addition to
working age group population during 2012-17 and 2017-22 were determined based on Census 2011 age wise
population accounting for death rate and life expectancy normalized against population corrections in 2017 and 2022.
Applying labour force participation rates, considering the historical trends, gross additions to labour force were
estimated for the two time periods. Accommodating for retirement from the existing pool of labour force, net supply
to labour force has been estimated. Supply estimations for the district during 2012-17 and 2017-22 periods is
provided in the following table.
Ahmedabad, being a commercial hub, would emerge as a key region from demographic growth perspective
witnessing significant inward migration. The district is set to become the largest human resource base in Gujarat by
113
2022. High proportion of incremental supply indicates the extent of focus that the district would require for skill
development initiatives. Details of human resource growth estimations during 2012-22 are presented in the table.

According to KPMG estimates, based on the potential district budgetary allocation for various central government
schemes, over 2.29 lakh people in total can be trained incrementally during the five year period of 2012-17. Ministry
of MSME, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of HUPA and Ministry of Communication & IT, are expected to contribute to a
significant share of the training. Manpower training targets are focused on meeting the industrial and services
sectors - with significant opportunity for private training providers to explore scheme based training. Also, being a
predominantly urban district accounting for significant share of state urban population, livelihood enhancement
targeting urban BPL families funded by Ministry of HUPA under SJSRY, is also an area of opportunity for private
training providers.

Junagadh has 201 bank offices with a total bank credit amount of INR 2,529 Cr 175 and a total deposit amount of INR
6,606 Cr 176 as of Mar 2012 177. While the number of banks has increased at a CAGR of 6.0 percent 178 from 2007 to
2012, the amount of deposit and credit have increased at a CAGR of 19.2 percent and 17.3 percent respectively from
2007-2012 there by indicating the increasing presence of organized financial services.
Owing to the soil characteristics, majority of district geographical land is cultivable (61 percent of total area) with few
regions like Manavadar, Bhesan and Vanthali talukas even having about 80 percent 179 of their geographic area under
cultivation.
Being a low rainfall witnessing region, the district has limited spread of irrigation facilities with only 33 percent of
net cultivable area under irrigation. Some talukas have even lower irrigation facilities like Bhesan taluka with only 12
percent of cultivable land under irrigation. It presents significant opportunities for stakeholders for improving the
irrigation penetration in the region. Even within the irrigated area, dependence on open wells is high commanding up
to a 94 percent share of net irrigated area. Thus, it provides high potential for mechanizing open wells with pump.
Further there is an increasing need to promote micro irrigation and water management programs in the district.
Groundnut, Bajra, Pulses (Green Gram and Black Gram), Castor and Cotton are the five main Kharif Crops while
Wheat, Garlic, Cumin, Bajra and Gram are five key Rabi crops grown in the district. The ratio of area under Rabi and

total workforce engaged in this sector. Considering the low level penetration of manufacturing sector at 8.7 percent
employment generation as against the state average of 15.86 percent, the district has potential to become a sourcing
hub for trained manpower. High manpower requirements in agrarian activities due to low output efficiency would

talukas and 924 villages 196 with Bhuj town as the
district capital. Mandvi, Mundra, Abdasa, Bhachau,
Lakhpat, Anjar, Rapar and Gandhidham along with Bhuj
are taluka regions in the district. Gandhidham is another
key town in the district along with Bhuj.
6.10.3.1.2.
Kutch
Demographic Profile
Kutch is a key district in Gujarat witnessing rapid strides in industrial growth leading to inward migration. District has
registered a significant human resource growth over the past decade due to immigration led by industrial activities in
Kandla and Mundra regions. During 2001-11 period district has witnessed a staggering rise in population from 15.8
lakhs to 20.9 lakhs 197 with a growth rate of 32.03 percent 198 in comparison to state average of 19.17 percent. Kutch is
predominantly rural with these regions accounting for 65.28 percent 199 of the total population. Population spread in
the district is state is significantly low with a density of 46 persons per sq.km 200 as against state average of 308
persons per sq.km. Low population density is attributed to the fact that nearly fifty percent of the total area of the
district is uninhabitable (Rann of Kutch region). Taluka wise distribution of population indicates that Bhuj is the most
populous and Lakhpat is the least populous in the district while Gandhidham has been fastest growing taluka. Details
of regional distribution of population in the district are presented in the table 201.

Gender composition of district population is marginally lower than the state average. As per 2011 census district has
a gender ration of 907 females per 100 males 203 as against the state average ratio of 918 females per 1000 males 204.
Declining proportion of female population from 942 female per thousand males in 2001 to 907 in 2011 is a key
concern for the district. Male migration into industrial clusters of Gandhidham, Mundra is a key reason for increasing
biased gender composition of population. Contribution of scheduled categories to the overall district population is
comparable to the state level proportion. As per census 2001 estimates, reserved categories account for 19.96
percent 205 of overall district population in comparison to the state average of state percentage of 21.85 percent 206.
Proportion of scheduled castes is higher than the tribes within reserved categories population.
Education attainment levels in the district are lower than the state average. As per 2011 estimates, district has
registered an overall literacy rate of 71.58 percent 207 as against state average of 79.31 percent 208. Continuing gender
and regional disparities in literacy rates is a concern within the district. Urban-rural literacy gap in Kutch is estimated
to be 15.69 per cent 209 as against the 14.58 percent 210 for overall state. Similarly, district has a male-female literacy
gap of 18.98 percent 211 as against 16.5 percent 212 for Gujarat state. Within the district as per 2001 census Mandvi
taluka has the highest literacy rate (69.93%) 213, while Rapar has the least (39.7%) 214 indicating considerable
variations among talukas of Kutch. Lower level of overall literacy, inadequate gender and regional inclusion stresses

the need for gender specific approach towards implementation of mass education initiatives. Increasing focus on
literacy would create demand for education and training facilities within the district to support the economic growth.

Economic Profile
Kutch has re-emerged from the ruins of one of the most disastrous earthquakes in the history that took place in
January 2001 and today has become a major industrial hub. It contributes to significant share of salt production in the
country. With large reserves of limestone, bauxite, lignite and bentonite, Kutch district is one of the preferred
destinations for most of the mineral based industries.
It boasts of being the world’s largest manufacturer of Submerged Arc Welded (SAW) pipes. A good number of
medium /large scale industries are supported by a sizeable number of small scale industries.
Due to presence of two important ports, Kandla and Mundra, Kutch district accounts for a very high cargo movement.
Analysis of regional distribution of investments in Kutch district indicates that industrial development is concentrated
in Anjar, Gandhidham, Mundra, Bhachau and Lakhpat Talukas while other regions like Mandvi and Nakhtarana still
remain backward. Over the recent years the state Government has initiated some measures to enhance the industrial
growth in backward talukas of Mandvai and Abdasa through suitable incentives leading to an increased investment
potential of these regions over the next decade.

Owning to the soil characteristics, only a very small percentage of district geographical land is cultivable (23 percent
of total area) with intra district variations. Talukas like Bhachau, Mandvi, Anjar and Gandhidham talukas have about
35 percent of their geographical area under cultivation while Lakhpat taluka has only 3.9 percent 225 land under
cultivation.
Kutch lies in North West agro climatic zone and has low rainfall conditions. Being a low rainfall witnessing region,
the district has limited spread of irrigation facilities with only 40 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation. The
lack of rainfall and irrigation facilities has resulted in poor agriculture in the district.
Poor nitrogen content in Kutch soils has resulted in large scale usage of nitrogen rich fertilizers. Awareness levels on
organic farming and vermin-compost methods are low in the region indicating immediate need to improve the same
by promoting holistic sustainable agricultural practices.
Bajra, Greengram, Groundnut, Cotton and Castor are the key Kharif crops while Wheat, Mustard, Isabgul are the main
Rabi crops grown in the district. The ratio of area under Rabi to Kharif crop is 0.2 indicating lack of multiple cropping
majorly due to poor irrigation and lack of rainfall. Main horticulture crops include Fruits (Datepalm, Mango), Spices
(Isabgul, Cumin, and Coriander) and vegetables (Tomato, Cucurbits and Brinjal). Currently usage of hybrid crop
varieties is low with a need to promote this practice across crop categories. There is a need for Taluka Seed Farms in
the district to improve the availability of quality seeds.
Sheep and goats are main cattle varieties in Kutch with 4, 95,253 sheep population 226 and 4, 59,442 goats 227. Other
prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are cows and buffaloes. The high number of sheep
and goats indicate potential for wool and meat yielding animal husbandry.

Gender composition of district population is marginally (Word Missing) than the state average. As per 2011 census,
the district has a gender ration of 925 females per 100 males 299 as against the state average ratio of 918 females per
1000 males 300. Contribution of scheduled categories to the overall district population is not significant with a
proportion of 8.58 301 in overall district population.
Education attainment levels in the district are better than the state average. As per 2011 estimates, district has
registered an overall literacy rate of 84.26 percent 302 as against state average of 79.31 percent 303. The district has
made significant progress towards regional inclusion in the reach of mass education programs while the gender
inclusion still remains a concern. Urban-rural literacy gap in Mehsana is estimated to be 7.11 percent 304 as against
the 14.58 percent 305 for overall state. On the other hand, the district still has a male-female literacy gap of 15.76
percent 306 as against 16.5 percent 307 for Gujarat state. Lower level of overall literacy and inadequate gender inclusion
stresses the need for gender specific approach towards implementation of mass education initiatives. Increasing
focus on literacy would create demand for education and training facilities within the district to support the economic
growth of the region.

6.10.5.3. Human Resource Requirement Projections in Mehsana (2012-22)
Incremental manpower requirement in the district of Kheda has been estimated based on several parameters such as
discussions with industries in Amreli.
Based on the analysis of current state of workforce distribution and potential employment opportunities in various
sectors incremental manpower requirement in key primary, secondary and tertiary segments is estimated for the
periods 2012-17 and 2017-22. Further, manpower requirement is classified into skilled, semi skilled and minimally
skilled categories considering the present level of employment in these categories for respective sectors and analysis
of expected developments in the industry that would lead to significant realignment of the categories.
Detailed approach for manpower estimations is presented in the appendix and specific factors for estimation are
discussed below.
Primary Sector:
2022 would witness a net outflow of workforce from the agricultural activities. Agricultural workforce displacement
is expected to be significant in marginal workers category. A significant portion of the workforce would engage in
agri-allied activities depending on the resource availability and migration constraints. Incremental manpower
requirement for the agri- allied activities is estimated considering the following parameters

shares its border with Bhavnagar, Rajkot and Junagadh
districts on three sides and Arabian Sea in the south.
Administratively, the district is divided into 11 talukas and
616 villages 378. Amreli, Vadiya, Bagsara, Liliya, Khambha,
Rajula, Jafrabad, Babra, Dhari, Savarkundala and Lathi are
the subdivisions/talukas in the district. The district has 9

6.10.7.1.2.
Amreli
Demographic Profile
Amreli has a population of 15.13 lakhs 380 as per 2011 estimates which accounts for 2.5 percent 381 of the overall state
population. The district is predominantly rural with a 75 percent 382rural population composition. The human resource
potential in the district is lower than the state average considering its population density of 205 persons per sq.km as
against the state average of 308 persons per sq.km 383. Further, population is the district is unevenly distributed across
the talukas leading to higher human resource potential in some talukas compared to others. An analysis of taluka wise population distribution as per 2001 Census indicate that Savar and Amreli regions account for significantly high
human resource potential of the district while Lila and Bhaghsara have low human resource base. The taluka-wise
population distribution details are presented in the table 384.

The decreasing female composition in the overall population is a key concern for the district indicating the need to
enhance gender-centric development programs. The adult gender ratio of the district has decreased from 987 females
per 1000 males 386 in 2001 to 964 females per 1000 males 387 in 2011. This indicates that inclusive growth in Amreli
could be achieved through higher focus on female centric initiatives. The representation of scheduled categories to
the overall population is also not significant.
The education attainment levels in the district are lower than the state average as evident from the literacy rate of
74.49 percent 388 in comparison to the state average of 79.31 percent 389. However, the district has witnessed higher
levels of inclusion in literacy with the district registering lower urban-rural and male-female literacy rate gaps than
the state average.. Considering the low levels of literacy rates it is imperative to improve literacy across all segments
of population to develop quality workforce in the district.
6.10.7.1.3.
Economic Profile
Amreli district is traditionally an agrarian district with limited industrial growth. However, over the recent years there
has been an upsurge in industrial development in the region owing largely to port-based industries around Pipav. It’s
proximity to Ahmedabad has further helped in boosting the economic activity within Amreli. Industrial development in
the region is largely dependent on MSME segment. The district has 6 GIDC industrial estates and one industrial
center which have helped in garnering industrial investments in this region. As per the IEM, LIO, LOP investment
details, the district has a total of 22 commissioned 390 large scale industrial units attracting an investment of INR 2247
Cr 391 along with 26 units under implementation 392 with an investment of INR 23,184 Cr 393. Construction-based
material industries like cement, chemical and chemical products, electrical and electronics, textile, mineral
processing and logistics are key industrial segments within the district. Some of the leading industries in the district
are UltraTech Cement Co. Ltd, Narmada Cement Co. Ltd, Metadist Co.Ltd, Dharamshi Morarji Chemicals Ltd., and
GHC Ltd.
An analysis of regional distribution of investments in Amreli district indicates that the industrial development is
concentrated around Rajula, Amreli and Dhari Talukas while Jafrabad, Bagsara are emerging destination for

Tourism is a key economic activity of the services sector in the district. The district has more than 30,000 hectares of
forest land with a rich variety of animal and plant species. It also has the renowned Gir Lion Sanctuary, Shri
Girdharbhai Sangrahalaya children’s museum, Paniya wildlife sanctuary and Mityala wildlife sanctuary. Other places
of tourist attractions are Bhurakhiya Hanuman Mandir and Khodiyar Mandir.
Infrastructure and connectivity is not very well developed in Amreli. The district doesn’t have any airport of its own
but airports are situated in nearby districts of Rajkot, Vadodara and Bhavnagar. National Highway 8E passes through
the district connecting it with Junagadh and Bhavnagar. There is also a four-lane expressway connecting Pipavav port
with National Highway 8E. However, the district has a strong rail infrastructure comprising seven railway stations
and a total rail length of 271 km 400.
The infrastructure is expected to improve significantly as Amreli is part of the proposed Delhi-Mumbai industrial
corridor which connects Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Chennai.
In terms of social infrastructure, both education and medical facilities can be rated low to medium in the district and
need to be strengthened. Amreli has only one female pharmacy and one MBA institute in the district. The medical
institutions have medium penetration in the district with one institution for every 26,096 people in the district. The
district has 39 primary healthcare centers, 14 community healthcare centers and 3 hospitals.

Amreli has a relatively higher than average penetration of banking and financial services with a density of 11,296
people per bank as of March 2012. The number of banks in Amreli stands at 134 with total deposits amounting to
2,771 Cr INR and total credit amounting to 1,401 Cr INR as of Mar 2012 401. While the number of banks has increased
at a high CAGR of 7.8 percent from 2007 to 2012, the amount of deposit and credit have increased at a high CAGR of
20.0 percent and 20.0 percent respectively from 2007-2012.
Amreli has an even distribution of climate with most of its region coming under the south Saurashtra and the north
Saurashtra zone. The moderate rainfall and excellent soil conditions has led to 80 percent of the geographical being
cultivable. However, since the region receives moderate rainfall, focus on irrigation facilities has been low, therefore
only around 19 percent of net cultivable area is under irrigation 402. Irrigation is predominantly dependent on open
wells and it could be improved with better irrigation facilities like adaptation of tube wells and motor pumps. Also
there is an increasing need to promote micro irrigation and water management programs in the district.
Groundnut, bajra, pulses, seasamum and cotton are key kharif crops grown in the district while wheat is the major
rabi crop. The ratio of net sown area between kharif crop and rabi crop is 7.65 indicating inadequate multiple
cropping. There is also a low usage of hybrid crop varieties and it needs to be promoted across crop categories.
There is a significant population of cattle in Amreli - 2, 60, 515 cows 403 and 2, 00,609 buffalos 404. However, there is a
poor presence of integrated animal husbandry in the district. Animal husbandry could be encouraged among small
and marginal farmers through advanced rearing training.
Amreli is among the districts which is highly dependent on agriculture. Nearly two thirds of the total workforce is
dependent on the primary sector for livelihood opportunities. The high labour participation rate is attributed to greater
participation of rural women in agricultural activities. While the workforce participation is marginally higher than the
state average, seasonal nature of agriculture means significant under employment for the agrarian workforce during
lean agricultural periods. A comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Amreli and Gujarat is presented in the
table 405.

6.10.7.3. Human Resource Requirement Projections in Amreli (2012-22)
The incremental manpower requirement in the district of Amreli has been estimated based on several parameters
such as investments trends, national level benchmarks on industrial growth across sectors, state manufacturing
policy targets, performance of state against economy targets, national level inclusion targets for certain sectors,
employment generation potential of various sectors based on labour elasticity and market-based insights from
discussions with industries in Amreli. Based on an analysis of current state of workforce distribution and potential
tertiary segments is estimated for the periods 2012-17 and 2017-22. Further, the manpower requirement is classified
categories for respective sectors. An analysis of expected developments in the industry that would lead to significant
realignment of the categories and specific factors for estimation is presented below along with a detailed approach
for manpower estimations in the appendix. ..
Primary Sector:
Considering the increasing level of farm mechanization and shared agricultural land usage, the period between 2012
and 2022 would witness a net outflow of workforce from the agricultural activities. Agricultural workforce
engage in agri-allied activities depending on the availability of allied resources and migration constraints.

Tertiary Sector:
Employment growth in some of the services sector is driven by the government through budgetary allocations to
achieve inclusion targets in education, healthcare and banking while the other segments such as hospitality and
resulting in high or low spending capacity of population. Also segments like IT-ITES, transportation and logistics are
driven by investments into infrastructure and manpower. Hence, human resource requirement projections for services
sub sectors would have specific approaches depending on the growth drivers for the segments in the district. A
detailed methodology for estimation of manpower in services sub segments is presented in the appendix.

The composition of female population in the district is comparable to that of the state average. As per the 2001
census, the district has a gender ratio of 936 females per 1,000 males 431, as compared to the state average ratio of
940 females per 1,000 males 432. Banaskantha has a moderate concentration of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes
in comparison to the state average.
Education levels in the district are poor as compared to state level targets. The district has registered an overall
literacy rate of 66.39 percent 433 as against the state average of 79.31 percent 434. Significant gender and regional
variations in the literacy rates are observed within the district. The male-female literacy gap of 26.87 percent 435
indicates an uneven penetration of mass education schemes in Banaskantha. A focused approach toward improving
female literacy rate from the current level of 52.58 percent 436 is required in order to achieve an inclusive human
resource growth in the district.
6.10.8.1.3.
Economic Profile
Banaskantha is primarily an agrarian economy with limited industrial growth. Low penetration of industrial
infrastructure with only six industrial estates in 12,73,000 ha big district is a key reason for subdued industrial growth
within the district. Limited connectivity with major cities within the state is another key factor hampering the growth
of industries in the region. As per the IEM, LIO, LOP investment details, the district has 24 commissioned 437 large-

scale industrial units, which attract an investment of INR250 crore 438 along with 23 units 439 under implementation
with an investment of INR26,476 crore 440. The key industrial segments in the district include chemicals, metal
fabrication, mineral processing, rubber and plastics.
The analysis of regional distribution of investments in Banaskantha district indicates that industrial development is
concentrated around Palanpur taluka while other regions such as Tharad, Kankrej, Bhabhar, Vav and Dhanera are
emerging as investment destinations. This is evident from significant investments in the under-implementation stage.
Over the recent years, the state government has initiated measures to enhance the industrial growth in backward
talukas across the state through suitable incentives. This would increase the investment potential of these regions
over the next decade. The details of region-wise large-scale investments in the Banaskantha district until 2012 is

Tourism remains one of the largest services sector in Banaskantha. The district has immense tourism potential
because of the presence of holy places like Ambaji and Kumbharia. Over 40% of tourist inflow in Gujarat is for
religious purposes and Ambaji has emerged as the second most popular tourist destination in Gujarat. Apart from
Ambaji, Banaskantha has other popular places like Kumbharia, a religious place for the Jain community, BalramAmbaji Sanctuary, Balram Palace Resort at Balrampur, Jessore Sloth Bear Sanctuary and Kedarnath Mahadev Temple
in Jessore (32 km from Palanpur). The tourism industry is expected to create multiple opportunities across sub-sectors
like highway restaurants, motels, heritage resorts, budget hotels and amusement parks.
The growth in the tourism industry has been facilitated by the fact that Banaskantha is well connected to major cities
in the country (New Delhi and Jaipur through highways — NH 16 and NH 8, respectively) and has good interstate
connectivity (with cities like Ahmadabad, Patan and Deesa through State Highway 7) 447. The district is connected to
Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Delhi through a broad gauge with a major railway station at Palanpur. The nearest port is
Dholera and the nearest commercial airport is Ahmadabad.

The financial services remain largely unexplored in Banaskantha. The district has the second lowest penetration of
banking and financial services with a density of 26,186 people per bank 448. The number of banks has increased at a
moderate CAGR of 6.2 percent from 2007–12. However, the CAGR of the deposit amount and the credit amount of
banks in the district from 2007–12 has been highest among all districts at 25.9 percent and 29.9 percent
respectively 449.
Banaskantha contributes significantly to the state’s agricultural production. It produced maximum vegetables in 2007,
contributing nearly 17% of the total vegetable production in the state . The district is also one of the largest
producers of potatoes in India. Traditionally, it has been known for its food processing industry, specifically
vegetable oils and vanaspathi.
In spite of medium to low rainfall in the region, agricultural activities flourish in the district due to favourable soil
conditions. About 73 percent of the district’s total geographical land is cultivable. The district has limited irrigation
facilities, with only 48 percent of the net cultivable area getting regular irrigation. Vav taluka has as low as 8 percent
of the net cultivable area under irrigation, indicating significant opportunities for improvement in these regions.
Agricultural irrigation in Banaskantha is predominantly dependent on tube wells, which supply water to 61.14 percent
of the net irrigated area. Poor nitrogen and moderate potash content in Banaskantha soils has resulted in large scale
use of nitrogen-rich fertilisers. There is little awareness about organic farming and vermicompost methods of
farming, indicating the need to promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Bajra, greengram, sesamum, castor and cotton are key kharif crops grown in the district. They cover around 64
percent of the net cultivable area. Main horticulture crops include spices, fruits (mainly citrus) and vegetables. Potato
and mustard are the two major rabi crops. Currently, use of hybrid crop varieties is low.
Cow and buffalo are main cattle varieties in Banaskantha with 6,44,467 cows 450 and 9,45,346 buffaloes 451. Other
prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities include goats and sheep. The availability of large
pasture lands indicates significant potential to promote animal husbandry in the district.
6.10.8.2. Workforce distribution in the district
Banaskantha depends primarily on agricultural activities for livelihood generation. Over three-fourths of the total
workforce is engaged in this sector. Considering the low level penetration of the manufacturing sector, which
generates 7.23 percent employment as against the state average of 15.86 percent, the district has the potential to
become a sourcing hub for trained manpower. While the district’s total worker participation rate is marginally better
than the state average, high manpower requirements in agrarian activities due to low output efficiency has resulted
in significant under-employment in this category. A comparison of workforce distribution in Banaskantha and Gujarat
is presented in the table 452.

6.10.8.3. Human Resource Requirement Projections in Banas Kantha (2012-22)
The incremental manpower requirement in Banaskantha has been estimated on the basis of several parameters such
targets, performance of state against economy targets, national-level inclusion targets for certain sectors,
discussions with industries in the district. Based on the analysis of current state of workforce distribution and
potential employment opportunities in various sectors, incremental manpower requirement in key primary, secondary
and tertiary segments is estimated for the periods 2012–17 and 2017–22. Further, manpower requirement is
classified into skilled, semi-skilled and minimally skilled categories, considering the present level of employment in
these categories for respective sectors and analysis of expected developments in the industry that would lead to a
significant realignment of the categories. Detailed approach for manpower estimations is presented in the appendix
and specific factors for estimation are discussed below.
455
231
Primary Sector:
Considering that the level of farm mechanization and the sharing of agricultural land is on the rise, the period
between 2012 and 2022 would witness a net outflow of workforce from agricultural activities. This is expected to be
significant in marginal workers category. A significant portion of the workforce would engage in agro-allied activities,
depending on the availability of allied resources and migrational constraints. Incremental manpower requirement for
agro- allied activities is estimated after considering the following parameters:
•
•
•
2012–17 and 2017–22 and the analysis of level of mechanization and allied factors in Gujarat
Employment potential in agro-allied activities in the district, considering the level of involvement in
various activities and regional conditions
Manpower requirement in the secondary sector is driven by investments and output growth. Various factors,
including analysis of manufacturing, sub-sector policies, investment trends and availability of resources are
considered to estimate incremental manpower in different sub-sectors of manufacturing in the district. Human
resource requirement projections for manufacturing sub-sectors in the district are estimated after considering the
following parameters:
•
•
•
•
Manufacturing growth targets for Gujarat for 2012–17 and 2017–22 (increasing secondary sector share in
Identifying key growth sub-segments within the district based on the study of existing industrial base and
Estimation of growth targets for the district based on the analysis of investment trends in the district and
their comparison to the state’s, available infrastructure and policy thrust on key manufacturing segments
identified for the district
Labour elasticity factors in potential sectors for the district
Tertiary Sector:
Employment growth in some of the services sector is driven by government thrust in terms of budgetary allocations to
achieve inclusion targets in education, healthcare and banking. Other segments, including hospitality and tourism,
financial intermediation, communication and retail depend on the level of economic activity in the region, resulting in
high or low spending capacity of population. Also, segments like IT-ITES and transportation and logistics are driven
by investments into infrastructure and manpower. Hence, human resource requirement projections for services subsectors would have specific approaches, depending on growth drivers for segments in the district. A detailed
methodology for estimation of manpower in the services sub-segments is presented in the appendix.
Based on the analysis of socio-economic conditions, investment scenario and availability of resources, incremental
manpower requirement has been estimated for the following sectors:

Economic Profile
Bharuch is an emerging industrial zone in the state with good infrastructure connectivity, including port connectivity
(Port of Dahej). The growth of the logistics industry based on the Dahej port has helped establish several key
industries in and around the area, including Indo-Gulf, Gujarat Chemical Port Terminal Company Ltd. (GCPTCL) and
Petronet LNG Ltd. Considering the advantages of the location of the port with respect to the opportunities it offers for
exports to Middle East, Africa, Europe and North America, the government has identified the region as a thrust area

for development. The district has witnessed significant growth of industrial centres and SEZs in the region in recent
years. The emergence of PCPIR (Petroleum, Chemicals & Petrochemicals Investment Region), Dahej SEZ and the
clearance of DMIC are expected to fuel industrial and economic growth of the district. Chemicals and petrochemicals,
textiles, drugs and pharmaceuticals, port-based logistics and ship building are some key industrial segments in
Bharuch. Guardian Corporation, Videocon, Badische Anilin and Soda Fabric (BASF), Reliance, Tatas, Aditya Birla
Group, Aventis, Wockhardt, Rallis, Pfizer, Larson & Toubro, Bayer, Glenmark, Lupin, Welspun-Stahl Rohrren and
Gujarat Fluor chemicals Ltd are some of the leading industries in the district.
An analysis of regional distribution of investments in Ahmedabad district indicates that industrial development is
concentrated around Ankleswar and Bharuch talukas while other regions like Amod and Hansot remain backward.
Over the recent years, the state government has initiated measures to enhance the industrial growth in backward
talukas across the state through suitable incentives. This is expected to increase the investment potential of these
regions over the next decade. The details of region-wise large-scale investments in Bharuch district until 2012 are

Among the services sector, tourism promises strong growth for the district. The region has multiple renowned ancient
monuments such as the Swaminarayan Temple, the Narmadamata Temple and the Vaishnav Haveli. The district also
has the famous Raichand Deepchand Library, which has a collection of over 200,000 books and has rare manuscripts.
Other tourist attractions include the Shoolpaneshwar wildlife sanctuary, Kabirvad, Kadiadungar, Jama Masjid and the
Golden Bridge.
There is medium penetration of medical institutions with almost 27,000 people per institute. The district has a
number of private specialized hospitals like Bharuch Hospital, Shaikh Orthopedics Hospital and Narayan Eye
Hospital 491.
National Highway 8 passes through the district, connecting it to Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Almost all talukas of
Bharuch have rail connectivity. The rail infrastructure in Bharuch comprises 50 km of broad gauge line and 33 railway
lines. The nearest airport to Bharuch is Vadodara, which is 69 km away. Bharuch has a well-established power
network with nearby districts such as Surat, Vadodara, Anand and Ahmedabad. A power station present in Bharuch

district is connected to Vadodara and Kakarapar in Surat. Bharuch has a high penetration of banking and financial
services with a density of 8,811 people per bank as of March 2012 492.
However, medium to high rainfall conditions, coupled with favourable soil conditions, have given thrust to moderate
agricultural and allied activities in the district. Sixty-five percent of the total land in Bharuch is cultivable. Since the
region receives high rainfall, the land is largely rain-fed, with only around 22 percent 493 of net cultivable area under
irrigation. Agricultural irrigation in Bharuch primarily depends on canals and open wells. Hence, there is a big scope
of adoption of tube wells.
Major horticulture crops being produced in the district include banana, mango, cucurbits, papaya and brinjal.
However, banana alone accounts for over 90% of the district’s total produce.
The cattle population in the district is low, with cows and buffalos accounting for 1, 44, 755 and 1, 34, 176 of the
total cattle population 494. Other prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are goats. Each taluka
of the district has a permanent pasture, though they are small in size. There are significant opportunities to develop
husbandry activities in the district.
Being an emerging industrial hub, Bharuch is witnessing significant growth in the secondary sector in overall
employment. Traditionally, the dependency on agriculture has been high, as indicated by nearly 70 percent share of
the primary sector. But recent years have witnessed significant progress toward reducing the dependency on agrarian
activities. A comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Bharuch and Gujarat is presented in the table 495.

Organized industrial employment in registered factories and service enterprises has created several employment
opportunities in the district. Large-scale industries lead in employment generation. Over the years, this segment has
accounted for 2.11 lakhs 496 of the total 2.56 lakhs 497 organized industrial employment across commissioned and
under-implementation units. Among the MSME units, services enterprises account for a low share of employment
owing to the unorganized nature of commercial activities within the district. The details of category-wise industrial
employment as per 2012 statistics is presented in the table.

6.10.9.3. Human Resource Requirement Projections in Bharuch (2012-22)
Incremental manpower requirement in Bharuch has been estimated on the basis on several parameters such as
investments trends, national-level benchmarks on industrial growth across sectors, state manufacturing policy
targets, performance of state against economy targets, national-level inclusion targets for certain sectors,
discussions with industries in Bharuch. Based on the analysis of current state of workforce distribution and potential
employment opportunities in various sectors, incremental manpower requirement in key primary, secondary and
tertiary segments is estimated for the periods 2012–17 and 2017–22. Further, manpower requirement is classified
into skilled, semi-skilled and minimally skilled categories, considering the present level of employment in these
categories for respective sectors and on the basis of the analysis of expected developments in the industry, which
would lead to a significant realignment of the categories. The detailed approach for manpower estimations is
presented in the appendix and specific factors for estimation are discussed below.
Primary Sector:
Considering the increase in farm mechanization and sharing of agricultural land, the period between 2012 and 2022
would witness a net outflow of workforce from agricultural activities. Agricultural workforce displacement is
500
248
expected to be significant in marginal workers category. A significant portion of workforce would engage in agroallied activities, depending on the availability of allied resources and migrational constraints. Incremental manpower
requirement for agro- allied activities is estimated on the basis of the following parameters

Manpower requirement in secondary sector is driven by investments and output growth. Various factors, including
the analyses of manufacturing, sub-sector policies, investment trends and availability of resources, are considered for
incremental manpower estimation in different sub-sectors of manufacturing in the district. Human resource
requirement projections for manufacturing sub-sectors in the district are estimated on the basis of the following

Tertiary Sector:
Employment growth in some of the services sector is driven by the government through budgetary allocations to
achieve inclusion targets in education, healthcare and banking. Other segments such as hospitality and tourism,
financial intermediation, communication and retail depend on the level of economic activity in the region, which
determine the spending capacity of the population. Also, segments like IT-ITES and transportation and logistics are
driven by investments in infrastructure and manpower. Hence, human resource requirement projections for services
sub-sectors would have specific approaches, depending on the growth drivers for these segments in the district. A
detailed methodology for the estimation of manpower in services sub-segments is presented in the appendix.

of the less developed regions in Gujarat
accounting for one of the six backward
districts in Gujarat receiving developmental
funds from Backward Regions Grant Fund
Programme (BRGF).

The district is among the regions with higher proportion of females than males. As per 2001 census district has a
However, decreasing proportion of female population is a concern for the district. Adult gender ratio has decreased
from 1007 females per 1000 males 565 in 2001 to 964 females per 1000 males 566 in 2011. The district has a higher
composition of scheduled categories population. As per census 2001 estimates, scheduled tribes account for 93.76
percent 567 of overall district population.
Education attainment levels in the district are marginally lower than the state average. As per 2011 estimates, the
district has registered an overall literacy rate of 76.8 percent 568 as against state average of 79.31 percent 569. The
district has a long way to progress towards regional and gender inclusion in the reach of mass education programs.
The district has a male-female literacy gap of 16.23 percent 570 as against 16.5 percent 571 for Gujarat state. Lower
level of gender inclusion stresses the need for gender specific approach towards implementation of various mass
education initiatives. Similarly, urban-rural literacy gap in The Dangs is estimated to be 14.31 percent 572 as against
the 14.58 percent 573 for overall state. Increasing focus on literacy would create demand for education and training
facilities within the district to support the economic growth of the region.
Dangs is a tribal district located in Southern Gujarat. The district shares its border with the State of Maharashtra and
is covered with high hills and dense forests. The district is gradually emerging into an agro – processing and tourism
hub.
Majority of the district’s population is dependent on Agriculture for its livelihood. Animal husbandry and bamboo
cutting are the other economic activities in the region.
There are a few (~100) small scale industries in Dangs. These include Farm based industries, Bamboo Furniture,
Plantation and nursery development and Food based industries.
The district is emerging as a tourism hub in Gujarat. The presence of waterfalls, forests, landscapes and a tribal
culture have attracted tourists from all over the world. The district has many tourist destinations like Saputara – a hill
resort, Saputara Museum, Hatgarh Fort, Gira Falls and Girmal Falls. Apart from these, the district also has Purna
Wildlife Sanctuary and Vansda National Park. There exists multiple opportunities for investment in sub-sectors within

The district is well connected with Maharashtra by road. The nearest airport is Surat which is at a distance of 139
kms. The rail network is limited and the railway line connects Waghai and Navsari district.
Medical penetration is one of the highest in the state with 20,615 people per medical institution. The district has 9
primary healthcare centers, 1 community healthcare centre and 1 hospital. There is also the presence of Central
Government Hospital, one Government Ayurvedic Hospital and nine Ayurvedic dispensaries 574
However, Dangs has the lowest number of bank offices amongst all districts at 10. It also has the lowest deposits
and highest credits amongst all districts at 282 Cr INR and 66 Cr INR as of Mar 2012 575. Dangs has a low penetration
of banking and financial services with a high density of 22,677 people per bank as of March 2012. While the number
of banks has increased at a CAGR of 4.6 percent from 2007 to 2012, the amount of deposit and credit have increased
at a CAGR of 19.7 percent and 13.6 percent respectively 576 from 2007-2012.
The district observes high rainfall conditions. The moderate soil characteristics and excessive rainfall in the district
has resulted in a very small section of its geographical land under cultivation (33 percent of total area 577). Being a
heavy rainfall region, most of the land of the district is rain fed requiring very few irrigation facilities leading to as
low as 18 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation. Agricultural irrigation in Dangs is predominantly dependent
on ponds and tanks which in turn are dependent on rainfall.
Rice, ragi, kharsani, tuver, groundnut, mangoes, custard apple, and others are the major food crops produced in the
district. Since 66% of the agricultural land in Dangs is situated on slopes, with uneven terrain, local traditional crops
like ragi are best adapted for cultivation in Dangs as it can grow in rain-fed areas on sloppy land. The agricultural
production pattern is slowly changing from traditional coarse grains like ragi, kharsani, and tuver to rice.
Animal husbandry and bamboo cutting are the other agri allied economic activities in the region.
Cows and buffalos are the main cattle varieties in Dangs with populations of 39,569 cows 578 and 21,907 buffalos 579
which is low as compared to other districts. The availability of large forest land (59 percent of total geographical
area) indicates a lot of potential for forestry. The forest area has potential for contour farming and also fodder
production which can support the agricultural activities of the district.
The district has a very low level of secondary and tertiary sectoral penetration resulting in high dependency on
agriculture. About87.94 percent of the total workforce are engaged in primary sector. While the total worker

Tourism is an upcoming service sector in the district. Tribal culture and the fascinating folklores of the district are a
great attraction for the tourists. Dohad also boasts of tourist attractions like Aurangzeb Nokillo (Fort) and Ratanmahal
Sanctuary, a sanctuary for jungle cats, foxes, porcupines, birds and reptiles. The district also has other places of
tourist interest like Shiva Temple and Chhab Talav (Lake). Apart from the above, local initiatives like weekly fairs
which held every Wednesday attract people from many areas who are interested in buying and selling items like
handicrafts, plastic wares, household goods, herbs, fruits, and tribal jewellery.
However, the growth of other services sector remains low/moderate in the district. The medical institutions have
medium penetration – 27,981 people per medical institute in the district. Overall, the district has 61 primary
healthcare centers and 12 community healthcare centers. Apart from the above, Dohad also has five trust hospitals, a
few specialized hospitals and the Banker’s Heart Institute 611
Dahod district has 75 bank offices, a total deposit amount of 1,941 Cr INR and a total credit amount of 661 Cr INR as
of May 2012 612. Dohad has the lowest penetration of banking and financial services amongst all districts with a low
density of 28,354 people per bank as of March 2012. The CAGR of bank offices in Dohad district at 2.9 percent is the
lowest amongst all districts. However, the deposits and credits have increased at a moderate CAGR of 19.8 percent
and 18.8 percent respectively from 2007-12. Low growth of number of banks, credit and deposit has resulted in slow
growth in overall financial intermediation industry in the district.
The transport and logistics sector are developed to a moderate extent. The road infrastructure of Dohad comprises of
National Highway (NH8) 59 which connect Dohad with Ahmadabad, Godhra and Indore. There is also the National
Highway extension 8E which connects Dahod, Zalod and Rajasthan border. The State Highways - SH2 and SH12
connects the district with Ahmadabad and Madhya Pradesh respectively. The rail infrastructure comprises of the
broad gauge railway line which connects Dahod with Vadodara, Ahmadabad and Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh. There
are also three railway lines in the district. The nearest port to Dohad district is Hazira port.
Dahod is predominantly an agricultural region and the prime share of revenue in the district comes from agriculturebased products. Wheat and maize are the major crops of the district. Further, agriculture has given a great impetus to
home-based industries such as making jute ropes and weaving bamboo. This is supported by the fact that the district
observes moderate to high rainfall. Further, being a moderate rainfall witnessing region, the district has a limited
spread of irrigation facilities with only 33 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation. Dahod and Dav Baria taluka
have less than 20 percent of cultivable land under irrigation, indicating significant opportunities for improvement in
this region.
Maize, Paddy, Pulse (Tur and Adad) and Soyabean are the five main Kharif Crops while Wheat, Gram and Maize are
five key Rabi crops grown in the district. The ratio of area under Rabi to Kharif is around 0.08 which indicates lack of
multiple cropping majorly due to poor irrigation and lack of rainfall. Main horticulture crops include Banana, Citrus,
Mango, Papaya, Aonla and Chiku.

Dahod has a high population of cattle, and consists of 586210 cowhand 283765 buffalos 613. Other prominent
domestic animal under animal husbandry activities is goat. Availability of pasture lands indicates significant potential
to promote animal husbandry in the district.
Dahod is predominantly dependant on agricultural activities for livelihood generation with 82 percentage of total
employment generation as against the state average of 15.86 percent, the district has the potential to become a
sourcing hub for trained manpower. While the total worker participation rate is better than the state average, high
manpower requirements in agrarian activities due to low output efficiency indicates significant level of under
employment in this category. Comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Dahod and Gujarat is presented in the
table 614.

Dahod would experience a moderately higher human resource growth during 2012-22. However, limited industrial
opportunities within the district to absorb increasing labour force would be a key issue. Adequate skilling of youth for
employment opportunities elsewhere in Gujarat could be potential solution to sustain higher work participation in the
district. Details of human resource growth estimations during 2012-22 are presented in the table 620.

Skill Gap Assessment of Gandhinagar District
Gandhinagar district is located in the central
2163 sq.kms. 625 It shares its border with
Ahmedabad, Mehsana, Kheda and Sabar
Kantha. Administratively, the district is
Gandhinagar, Kalol, Mansa and Dehgam are
taluka regions in the district. Gandhinagar city
is the administrative capital for the district
and is also the state capital for Gujarat. As
the state capital, Gandhinagar has witnessed
significant growth in commercial and services
sectors with the proximity to Ahmedabad
boosting the growth of industrial sector along
the Ahmedabad- Gandhinagar corridor.
Gandhinagar
Gandhinagar district is a moderate human resource potential region in Gujarat state. The district has a total
population of 13.87 lakhs 627 as per 2011 Census accounting for 2.3 percent 628 of the overall state population. It has
witnessed a subdued population growth with a decadal growth rate of 12.15 percent 629 between 2001 and 2011 in
comparison to state average of 19.17 percent 630 during the same period. Significant portion of district population lives
in urban areas with these regions accounting for 43.32 percent 631 of the total population. Population spread in the
district is significantly high with a density of 660 persons per sq.km 632 in comparison to the state average of 308
persons per sq.km 633. High population density is a key advantage with opportunities to develop skilled human
resource capital. Improving social infrastructure and transportation facilities is driving workforce displacement from
Gandhinagar to semi urban regions in neighboring districts of Mehsana and Ahmedabad. Analysis of population
distribution in the district as per 2001 census indicates higher human resource potential in the talukas of
Gandhinagar and Kalol. Details of regional distribution of population in the district are presented in the table 634.

Gender composition of district population is biased with a lower proportion of females than males. As per 2011
census the district has a gender ratio of 913 females per 100 males 636 as against the state average ratio of 940
females per 1000 males 637. Contribution of scheduled categories to the overall district population is lower than the
state level proportion. As per census 2001 estimates, reserved categories account for 11.67 percent638 of overall
district population in comparison to the state average of state percentage of 21.85 percent 639.
Education attainment levels in the district are better than the state average owing to migration of literate workforce
to the urban regions of the district and increasing private participation in primary and higher levels of education in the
district. As per 2011 estimates, district has registered an overall literacy rate of 85.78 percent 640 as against state
average of 79.31 percent 641. The district has made significant progress towards regional inclusion in the reach of
mass education programs. However gender inclusion still remains a concern. Urban-rural literacy gap in Dahod is
estimated to be 6.02 per cent 642 as against the 14.58 percent 643 for overall state. On the other hand, the district still
has a male-female literacy gap of 16.22 percent 644 percent as against 16.5 percent 645 for Gujarat state. Lower level of
gender inclusion stresses the need for gender specific approach towards implementation of mass education
initiatives. Increasing focus on literacy would create demand for education and training facilities within the district to
support the economic growth of the region.
Electronics and Textiles have been the main sectors of investment and employment in Gandhinagar district since the
late 1980s. The Food Processing industry of the district is well developed because of the proximity to agricultural
districts such as Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Ahmedabad, Kheda, Anand, etc.

The major focus in Gandhinagar district has been on the services in the public sector, Electrical and Electronics and
IT/ITES with the latter seeing increasing visibility in recent years. The DMIC (Delhi/Mumbai Industrial Corridor) is
expected to give a further fillip to this along with the already established concept of SEZs (Special Economic
Zones).The major investment avenues in the IT/ITES sector are in Software Development Centers, Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO), Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and Educational Training Centers.
Gandhinagar has several educational institutions of repute like Indian Institute of Information & Technology,
Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information & Technology. Supplementing these institutes are core research oriented
institutes like the Institute for Plasma Research and the Indian Institute for Advanced Research. Gandhinagar also has
a rich eco-system of institutes in specializing in niche spaces like fashion and design (National Institute of Fashion
Technology), Entrepreneurship (Entrepreneurship Development Institute) & Law (National Law University)
The district has 24 primary healthcare centers, 17 dispensaries and 8 community healthcare centers. Apart from
these, Gandhinagar also has a robust network of private hospitals with the Gujarat Apollo Hospital, Kanoria Hospital
and the Civil Hospital being the prominent ones with the Apollo Hospital being the largest corporate hospital in
Gujarat 652.
As expected of an urban enterprising area, Gandhinagar has a high penetration of banking and financial services with
a high density of 9.375 people per bank as of March 2012 with the district having around 148 bank offices with a
total credit amount exceeding 7000 Cr INR and a total deposit amount of more than 13000 Cr INR as of Mar 2012 653.
While the number of banks has increased at a relatively higher CAGR of 7.9 percent from 2007 to 2012, the amount of
deposit and credit have increased at high CAGRs of 25.6 percent and 23.6 percent respectively 654 from 2007-2012.
Leveraging on the promising trends of increasing financial penetration, the Gujarat Government is planning to setup
the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) as a “One Stop Shop” destination for the global financial service
industry.
The road infrastructure of Gandhinagar comprises of the National Highways NH 8 and 8C which connect it with the
other major cities of Gujarat. The nearest airport to Gandhinagar is Ahmadabad which is 22 km away with the nearby
Ahmadabad railway station practically connecting to every nook and corner of the country either directly or indirectly.
Lastly, in spite of the buzzing business environment of the district, the place is also home to major tourist attractions
like the famous Akshardham Swaminarayan Temple, Adalaj Step Wells and Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park with the
Dinosaur Park is considered to be the second largest dinosaur park in the world.
Owning to the soil characteristics, a majority of the district geographical land of Gandhinagar is cultivable (76 percent
of total area). Adding to the favorable soil characteristic is the fact that Gandhinagar has moderate to high rainfall
conditions with the average rainfall in the last 10 years being 750 mm. The district also shows a remarkable spread
652
Census 2006-07
653
Census 2006-07
654
Census 2006-07

of irrigation facilities with around 59 percent 655 of net cultivable area under irrigation. Castor, Cotton(Irrigated), Bajra,
Pulse and Paddy are the five main Kharif Crops while Wheat, Mustard, Potato and fennel are five key Rabi crops
grown in the district. Main horticulture crops grown include Vegetable (mainly Potato), fruits and spices. The district
has Taluk level Seed Farms targeted at improving the availability of quality seeds. Currently, usage of hybrid crop
varieties is low with a need to promote its usage across crop categories.
Cow and buffalos are main cattle varieties in Gandhinagar with 1, 48,430 cowhand 3, 64,040 buffalos 656 with
significant population of goats as well. Availability of pasture lands holds immense potential to promote animal
husbandry in the district. Along with strengthening animal husbandry activities among small and marginal farmers
through advanced rearing training, there is a need for integrating the animal husbandry with promotion of organic
farming as well.
Going forward, educating farmer communities/ groups on marketing and processing would be crucial to enhance the
revenue benefits to marginal communities by limiting the role of middlemen. Government initiative to set up
agricultural collection centers towards achieving this objective has to be supplemented by relevant training programs
as well.
Being the state capital, growth in commercial activities has resulted in higher penetration of tertiary and secondary
activities. Non agrarian sectors account for nearly 60 percent of overall workforce indicating the level of progress
Gandhinagar has achieved in terms of reducing dependency on agriculture. Tertiary sector has been the dominant
employment generating segment in the district economy. Low female participation is however a main concern for the
district Efforts towards higher levels of gender inclusion in education and employment are expected to improve the
situation over the next decade. Comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Ahmedabad and Gujarat is

Jamnagar attracts large number of tourists each year. It consists of several tourist destinations like Lakota lake,
Lakota Museum, Khijada Mandir and Ratan Bai Mosque. Apart from the above, Jamnagar also has beautiful beaches
like Balachadi, Marine National Park, Khijadia Birds Sanctuary and Gaga Wild Life Sanctuary.
In the supply of skilled manpower pool, the district offers higher education institutes in field of medicine and
agriculture. Jamnagar is home to the country’s only Ayurvedic University offering post graduate and diploma courses
in Ayurvedic medicines and pharmaceutical science, yoga and naturopathy. In addition, Jamnagar also has Fisheries
Aquatic Science Research Station for research in Pearl culture. The district boasts one medical college as well as
dental, physiotherapy and ayurvedic colleges in the district.
The penetration of medical infrastructure is low in the district with one medical institution catering to 37,226 people.
The district has 38 primary healthcare centers, 11 community healthcare centers and 5 hospitals. Jamnagar also has
the Apollo Group of Hospitals and other specialty hospitals like Patel Surgical Hospital, Reparalia Neuro Hospital 695

Census 2006-07

However, there is need to strengthen the medical institutes in the districts which is expected to give rise to direct
employment opportunities like doctor, nurses and support staff etc and indirect opportunities in Pharmacy, diagnostic
labs etc.
Jamnagar has a medium penetration of banking and financial services with a high density of 10,532 people per bank
as of March 2012.There are 205 bank offices in Jamnagar with a total bank deposit of 8,716 Cr INR and a total credit
amount of 2,503 Cr INR as of March 2012 696. While the number of banks has increased at a CAGR of 5.5 percent from
2007 to 2012, the amount of deposit and credit have increased at a relatively lower CAGR of 16.7 percent and 13.5
percent respectively 697 from 2007-2012.
The road infrastructure of Jamnagar has the National Highway 8 Ext. which connects Ahmadabad which connects
Ahmadabad with Somnath, Porbandar and Dwarka. The rail network connects Jamnagar with Gujarat cities like
Rajkot, Surat & Ahmadabad and Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Varanasi. There is also the Hapa Junction which is
set on broad gauge and connects it with Okha and Porbandar.
There is a domestic airport in Jamnagar which connects the district with Mumbai and Bhuj. The district has a rich
port infrastructure with 9 ports along a 355 km coastline. Out of the 9 ports, Bedi, Okha and Sikka are intermediate
ports and Salaya, Jodiya, Pindhara and Bet (Dwarka) are minor ports.
Agriculture and agriculture allied sectors contribute to relatively smaller share of economy of Jamnagar. This can be
attributed to the fact that the district observes medium to low rainfall. Further the soil is shallow to medium black
due to which only 62% of total geographical area is cultivable. The district also has a limited spread of irrigation
facilities with only 31.76 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation. Ranpur, Mandal, Barvala and Dhandhuka
Talukas have as low as 15 percent of net cultivable area under irrigation, indicating significant opportunities for
improvement in these regions. The irrigation is predominantly dependent on tube wells with a 49.8 percent share of
net irrigated area. Large scope for the operation and maintenance of tube wells would mandate requirement of
skilled manpower with knowledge on repair and maintenance.
Cotton, Paddy, Bajra, Castor and Pulses are key crops grown in the district. Main horticulture crops include spices,
Brinjal, Tomato and ber. Flowers are grown over a small area in Dholka taluka of the district. While about 92% of the
cultivable land is covered by Kharif crops, only 53% of the cultivable land is covered under Rabi indicating sizeable
opportunities for multiple cropping in the district with adequate training.
Cow and buffalos are main cattle varieties in Jamnagar with 2, 16, 941 cows and 3, 43,699 buffalos 698. Other
prominent domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are goats and sheep. Availability of large pasture
lands indicates significant potential to promote animal husbandry in the district. Fishery is a prominent activity in
Dhandhuka Taluka.

Further, Jamnagar district is now witnessing a continuing decrease in the agricultural land and therefore decrease in
related activities. Statistics available with the district Panchyat’s agriculture section indicates that the total cultivable
area, which stood at 7, 00,736 hectors in 1990 shrank to 6, 16,889 hectors 699 in 2010. Industrialization and
urbanization are cited as the two key reasons for this shrinkage. A major chunk of farmland has been taken up by
large refineries for its expansion.
Workforce dependency on primary sector is marginally higher than the secondary and tertiary sectors in Jamnagar.
District has been witnessing significant growth in industrial activity over the recent years which could potentially
increase the contribution of secondary sector to overall employment market. Comparison of workforce distribution
scenario in Jamnagar and Gujarat is presented in the table 700.

Tourism is a significant proponent of growth in Surat. The district accounted for 4.29% of the total tourist inflow in
Gujarat during 2006/07 and has grown since. Historical locations like the Surat Castle and the Mughalsarai combined
with ornately carved mosques and Parsi agiaris act as major attractors of tourist in the region. The Hazira bean and
Dumas beach are other tourist spots in Surat.
Apart from tourism, the IT/ITES sector is envisaged as a rising sector in Surat. There is a proposal for an industrial
center in Surat called Surat-Navsari Industrial area which has an IT/ITES/Biotech hub. The major investment avenues
in the IT/ITES sector are in Software Development Centers, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Knowledge Process
Outsourcing (KPO) and Educational Training Centers.
Surat’s connectivity to major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad through NH 8 helps facilitate the growth of
tourism in the district. The rail network helps connect Surat with other areas in Gujarat, like Tapi, Ahmedabad,
Bharuch, Vadodara and Valsad; while also providing lines to reach Mumbai. There is a domestic airport located in
Surat connecting the district to Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad. There are ports located at Magdalla and Hazira.
With regards to healthcare, Surat is ranked as the lowest penetrated district, with 63,325 people 785 having access to
one hospital on average. This could be attributed to the relatively higher population of Surat compared to the other
districts, but it still identifies a sector that has potential to generate employment. Training and preparatory courses
are required to develop a workforce capable of enter the healthcare services sector. At present, the district has 50
784
Census 2006-07
785
358
primary healthcare centers, 13 community healthcare centers, 4 hospitals and 16 dispensaries. Apart from the above,
there are specialized hospitals for TB and cancer detection 786.
There is also scope for development in financial services, with Surat falling a little below the average penetration in
the state; each financial institution is required to cater to roughly 13,000 people 787 in the district. Currently, Surat has
a total of 468 bank offices with a total deposit of 29,210 Cr INR and a total credit of 23,887 Cr INR as of March 2012.
Surat is located in the South Gujarat agro-climatic zone, characterized by above average rainfall of 974mm. The
region experiences semi-arid to dry sub-humid weather variations. The soil consists largely of the deep black and
coastal alluvium types. The geographical area sums up to a total over a little over 400000 hectares 788 of which over
76% is cultivable area 789 The proliferation of irrigation is high in the district with 2 hectares of land irrigated for every
hectare of rain fed land. Over 1000 km of canals have been set up in the region instrumental in providing two-thirds
of the cumulative irrigation.
Amongst horticultural crops, banana is cultivated over 10000 hectares with the district being one of the largest
producers, followed by mango 790. Brinjal and okra are the leading vegetables grown in the region with the district
topping production of these two commodities in the state. The major kharif crop is rice and that in the rabi season is
sugarcane incentivizing setting up of sugar processing facilities in the district. Livestock comprises 579071 animals,
including cattle, buffalos, sheep, goat and others.
6.10.16.2. Workforce Distribution in Surat district
Being a highly industrialized district, Surat has made significant progress towards reducing dependency on
agriculture. Nearly one third of the total workforce is dependent on secondary sector activities. Further, total work
force participation rate is higher than the state average unlike most of the urban regions in India. Higher participation
rates are attributed to significant women employment in textile units. Comparison of workforce distribution scenario
in Surat and Gujarat is presented in the table 791.

The district has around 1982 K12 schools with a 68.11 percent share of Government schools. The relatively higher
share of private schools has a major role to play towards the high literacy rate of Surat. However the net enrolment
ratio at the primary level and upper primary level are lower in comparison to the state averages primarily due to the
high decennial growth rate in Surat’s population 798.

females per 1000 males 856 as against the state average ratio of 918 females per 1000 males 857. High levels of male

With 30 primary healthcare centers, 5 community healthcare centers and 2 hospitals, Tapi is considered to be a
highly penetrated district with regards to healthcare, with each institution being required to cater to an average of
20163 people.
The district, however, suffers from low penetration of financial services with only 38 bank offices 868 in the district.
The total deposit amount sum to 1,049 Cr. INR and the credit amounts to 363 Cr. INR. Per financial institution, there
exist 21,223 people, on average, that need to be catered to. In the last 5 years, there has been a slow growth at a
CAGR of 6%, a rate insufficient to serve the current requirements. Credit and deposit amounts are both growing at a
rate of 20% in the same period.
Tapi enjoys a moderate connectivity with major Gujarat cities through the National Highways and the State
Highways. Via Surat, travelers can access Delhi and Mumbai; Tapi is connected to Surat through NH 6. Intrastate and
interstate linkages have been established through the rail network, which connects Tapi with Valsad, Vapi and
Mumbai in south and with Bharuch, Vadodara and Ahmedabad in north.
Development of tourism in the district can be facilitated through enhancing transportation networks. Tapi does
contain several tourist attractions such as the Fort of Songadh, Dosvada Dam, Tapi River, Ukai Dam and Gaumukh.
The Rokadia Hanuman Mandir, Suryatapeshwar Mandir, Kalyanraiji Mandir, Saibaba Mandir and Firangi Mandir are a
few of the religious locations that also constitute the tourism scene in the region.
Tapi’s agro-climatic zone has been classified as a constituent of the Gujarat plains and hills region. The district
witnesses heavy rainfall, primarily from the South-west monsoon. The region also has heavy black soils, covering
over 40% of the total area with Lateritic soil observed in the hilly region. Thus, owing to the soil and rainfall
conditions, of the total geographical area of 500000 hectares, over 45% of the land is cultivable indicating a modest
agricultural environment.
The net irrigated area sums up to 63400 hectares and nearly 112974 hectares of land is fed by rainfall 869
The climatic and soil conditions favor the growth of cotton and paddy in the kharif period and to some extent
groundnut as well. Sugarcane is the primary crop cultivated in the rabi season and is the highest produced crop in the
district thus paving the way for potential investments in the sugar processing sector due to raw material proximity
(On an average, over 7500000 tonnes of sugarcane are produced) 870. Amongst fruits, the Tapi region grows mango,
sapota, papaya, custard apple and banana; with the production of banana being the highest.
The district has very low level secondary and tertiary sectoral penetration resulting in high dependency on
agriculture. As high as 85 percentage of the total workforce is engaged in the primary sector. While the total worker
participation rate is higher than the state average, high manpower requirements in agrarian activities due to low
output efficiency would indicate significant under employment in this category. The district can only explore

Tourism contributes significantly to Valsad’s service sector. The region contains several tourism centers, such as the
Fire Temple at Udvada, a holy place for the parsis; Lady Wilson museum and the District Science Centre. Tourists also
visit Sahyadri Mountain, which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Apart from these locations, tourism in
the region is supplemented by visitors travelling to Daman and Diu.
The tourism is further bolstered by a robust transport network linking Valsad with the neighbouring regions in Gujarat
and with other states as well. The rail network provides connectivity to major destinations, such as Ahmedabad,
Mumbai and Delhi through the Western Railway. There has also been an increased focus on the betterment of the
road network with the announcement of several infrastructure development projects. Projects have also been
proposed for ports and rails. There are plans for developing a new Greenfield site, as an industrial port. A rail line to
connect the Maroli (Umargaon) port with Surat and Mumbai is also in the pipeline. The district, however, does not
have an airport; the nearest airport is located in Surat.
With regards to healthcare, the district sees a medium penetration of health services, with one medical institution
available for approximately 30,000 people in the region. There are 41 primary healthcare centers, 10 community
healthcare centers, 2 hospitals and 3 dispensaries 942. The Kasturba Hospital, Bhatia General Hostpital and Adarsh

deposit and credit at growing at a CAGR of 19.8 % and 22.2% respectively 943 in the 2007-2012 period. Valsad has
146 bank offices with a total deposit and credit amount of 6,593 Cr INR and 3,477 Cr INR 944 as of 2012.
Being a high rainfall witnessing region, the majority of land is rainfed with only around 36 % of net cultivable area
under irrigation 945. This Agricultural irrigation in Valsad is predominantly dependent on canals and open wells. Large
scope for the operation and maintenance of tube wells for lift irrigation would mandate requirement of skilled
manpower with knowledge on repair and maintenance.
Poor nitrogen and high potash content in Valsad soils has resulted in large scale usage of nitrogen rich fertilizers.
Awareness levels on organic farming and vermi compost methods are low indicating a need to improve the same in
order to promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Cotton and Ragi are key kharif crops grown in the district while Niger & Indian Bean are the major rabi crops. The
ratio of area under Kharif to Rabi crop cultivation is 3.32 indicating good prospects for multiple cropping. Main
horticulture crops include banana, sapota and Okra and mango where the district topped the state in terms of
production 946. Currently usage of hybrid crop varieties is low with a need to promote across crop categories. There is
a need for Taluka Seed Farms in the district to improve the availability of quality seeds.
Cow and buffalos are main cattle varieties in Valsad with 300736 cows and 95430 buffalos. Other prominent
domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are goats. Each taluka of the district has a permanent pasture
though they are small in size. This opens up opportunity for animal husbandry which when clubbed with organic
farming can give impressive results.
benefits to marginal communities by limiting the role of middlemen. Government initiative to set up agricultural
collection centers towards achieving this objective has to be supplemented by relevant training programs.
Valasad being an emerging industrial hub is witnessing significant growth of the secondary sector in regard to
overall employment. Traditionally the dependency on agriculture has been high as indicated by a marginally higher
dependency on primary sector than the state average, but in recent years there has been significant progress towards
secondary and tertiary activities. Comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Valasad and Gujarat is presented
in the table 947.

district. Increasing focus on literacy would create demand for education and training facilities within the district to
The coastal nature of Porbandar has fuelled the growth of specific industries in the district, such as ports and ship
building, cement and chemical. The Arabian Sea facing port supports these industries by acting as a channel for
importing required raw material and by allowing exporting the finished goods, such as cement clinker. The district
rests on a rich bed of chalk and bauxite, which attract and feed related industries in the area.
Within the district, the Porbandar taluka has witnessed substantial investments, to the tune of over INR 600 Cr. But
at the same time, Ranavav taluka has nearly INR 550 Cr., under implementation. The large scale investment details

Cotton and Wheat are key kharif crops grown in the district while gram and millet are the major rabi crops. The ratio
of area under Kharif to Rabi crop cultivation is 1.61 indicating good prospects for multiple cropping. Main horticulture
crops include fruits (Banana), vegetables and Spices with the district contributing to a sizeable portion of Gujarat’s
onion production 1110. Currently usage of hybrid crop varieties is low with a need to promote across crop categories.
There is a need for Taluka Seed Farms in the district to improve the availability of quality seeds.

Rajkot has medium to high rainfall conditions and is part of North Saurashtra Agro-Zone. Owning to the soil
characteristics, 43% of total geographical land is cultivable. Poor nitrogen and high potash content in Rajkot soils
has resulted in large scale usage of nitrogen rich fertilizers. Awareness levels on organic farming and vermi -compost
methods are low indicating a need to improve the same in order to promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Cotton and Groundnut are key kharif crops grown in the district while wheat is the major Rabi crop. The ratio of area
under Kharif to Rabi crop cultivation is 4.08 indicating good prospects for multiple cropping. The district is the largest
producer of Cotton in the state of Gujarat. Main horticulture crops include fruits (Banana), vegetables and Spices with
the district being the second largest in terms of onion production 1152.

need for Taluka Seed Farms in the district to improve the availability of quality seeds.
Cow and buffalos are main cattle varieties in Rajkot with 273401 cows and 343988 buffalos 1153. Other prominent
domestic animals under animal husbandry activities are goats. Each taluka of the district has a permanent pasture
though they are small in size. This opens up opportunity for animal husbandry which when clubbed with organic
farming can give impressive results.
As an industrially developed district with significant commercial activity, Rajkot has made considerable progress
towards reducing dependency on agriculture over the years. While employment in secondary and tertiary sectors is
nearly half of the overall economy, manufacturing activities account for about 20 percent of the overall district
workforce. While the total worker participation rate less than state average due to low female participation. Low
female participation is however a main concern for the district as is the case with most of the urban regions in India.
Efforts towards higher levels of gender inclusion in education and employment are expected to improve the situation
over the next decade.
Comparison of workforce distribution scenario in Rajkot and Gujarat is presented in the table 1154.
